SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea fired several short-range ballistic missiles into the sea Wednesday in its second launch in two days, South Korea's military said, hours after a senior Pyongyang official derided Seoul as "world-startling fools" for clinging to hopes of improved ties with the nuclear-armed neighbor. The back-to-back provocations underscore Pyongyang's deepening hostility toward South Korea's liberal government under President Lee Jae-myung and its rejection of any diplomatic thaw, even after a brief positive signal from Kim Jong Un's influential sister. South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff detected the latest firings from the Wonsan area on the east coast toward the Sea of Japan (also known as the East Sea) early Wednesday.
