North Korea has fired two short-range missiles into the sea, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said.
They were launched early on Thursday, travelling a distance of 430km (270 miles) and reaching an altitude of 50km before falling into the Sea of Japan, also known as the East Sea.
It comes after anger from the North over planned military exercises between South Korea and the US next month.
The North warned they could affect the resumption of denuclearisation talks.
The first missile was launched at about 05:34 Thursday local time (20:34 GMT Wednesday) and the second at 05:57, said the JCS.
They were launched near the eastern city of Wonsan. It is not clear if North Korean leader Kim Jong-un oversaw this launch.
