The missile launches are the latest in an unprecedented number of missile tests conducted by North Korea this year. It comes amid concern that Pyongyang is preparing to conduct its seventh nuclear test.
AAPThe launches came a day after South Korea successfully tested a new space launch vehicle.
Military tensions on the Korean peninsula have risen sharply in 2022 as the North has conducted sanctions-busting weapons tests nearly every month, including firing its most advanced intercontinental ballistic missile ever. South Korean president Yoon Suk-yeol called the incident "intolerable" and added that the South should ensure that Pyongyang realised that "provocations are always met with harsh consequences".
Pyongyang earlier this month said it conducted an "important final-stage" test for the development of a reconnaissance satellite, claiming it had developed advanced technologies to take images from space.
