“We are monitoring the situation after missiles were launched from Hodo Peninsula,” according to North Korean officials.
North Korea has fired multiple unidentified missiles. The projectiles were launched from North Korea's Hodo Peninsula in South Hamgyong Province on its east coast.
South Korean Military says it is monitoring the situation in case of additional launches.
It came six days after the country fired two missiles in Kim Jong-un's latest show of force - and one was a new type that flew almost 435 miles before crashing into the sea.
They were launched from Wonsan - a city on the eastern coast - as Pyongyang carried out its first test since its leader and US President Donald Trump agreed to resume talks about denuclearization and sanctions.
The travelling almost 435 miles was one of the furthest distances a North Korean missile has flown during a drill.
Kim's test risks threatens to derail talks after he and Trump met at the demilitarized zone (DMZ) between the two Koreas at the end of June.
South Korea's military said one of the missiles launched last Thursday appeared to be a new type.
The missiles were fired as John Bolton, Trump's national security adviser, visited ally South Korea to discuss regional security.
In May, Kim watched through binoculars and was pictured laughing and smiling as North Korea test-fired two missiles.
Pyongyang's state media said that drill was intended for the country's western "frontline defenders" to carry out "combat missions".
