North Korea on Saturday launched three short-range missiles into the Sea of Japan, apparently as part of a military drill, South Korea's defence ministry said.
US and South Korean forces had been on heightened alert for a medium-range ballistic missile test in recent weeks amid
tensions triggered by North Korea's nuclear test in February.
"North Korea launched two guided missiles in the morning and another one in the afternoon," a defence ministry spokesman said.
"The missiles landed in the East Sea (Sea of Japan)," he said.
South Korea was maintaining intense surveillance of the North and keeping a high-level of readiness to deal with any risky developments, he added.
North Korea sometimes launches short-range missiles for tests or as part of military drills.
"A more detailed analysis will be needed but the missiles launched may be a modified anti-ship missile or the KN-02 surface-to-surface missile derived from the Soviet era SS-21 that has a range of about 120 kilometres," a Seoul official told Yonhap news agency.
Following the move, the United States urged the North to exercise restraint, without specifically commenting on the launches.
"We are closely monitoring the situation on the Korean Peninsula. As is standard practice, we do not comment on intelligence matters," Darby Holladay, a state department spokesman said.
"We continue to urge North Korea to exercise restraint and take steps to improve its relations with its neighbours."
Seoul meanwhile branded the tests "serious" provocations.
"The international community will levy much tougher sanctions against North Korea for its continued absurd provocation," Min Hyun-Joo, spokeswoman of the ruling Saenuri Party, was quoted as saying by Yonhap.
"No compensations or benefits will be allowed if North Korea fails to show changes in its policy toward the right direction," she added.
The launches followed a joint South Korea-US naval exercise this week, slammed by North Korea as a "wanton" provocation and rehearsal for war.
A US defence official said last week that two North Korean Musudan medium-range missiles that had been primed for firing as tensions flared in the run-up to the North's national celebrations on April 15 had been moved from their launch site.
Musudan missiles have an estimated range of 2,500 to 4,000 kilometres (1,500 to 2,500 miles), enough to reach South Korea and Japan and potentially US military bases on the Pacific island of Guam.
US and South Korean officials had been worried that any test of the medium-range missiles would trigger a fresh surge in tensions, which escalated after the North carried out a nuclear test in February.
UN sanctions imposed after the test triggered a cycle of escalating military tensions on the Korean peninsula that are only now beginning to subside.
An aide to the Japanese prime minister returned home from a controversial trip to North Korea on Saturday, fuelling speculation that Pyongyang may be trying to thaw icy relations with Japan.
At the height of the tensions, Pyongyang threatened pre-emptive nuclear strikes on the United States and South Korea.

John Stossel - The Debt Bomb: Entitlements, Student Loans, Pensions, & More
Let's face it, our elected officials have purposefully wrecked our economy. They know what they were doing all along, for this is totally planned. They have moved as much industry as they can outside the country to protect them from the collapse that is coming. Wall Street tycoons are gorging bailout money that they never should had been granted. I want to know one thing, "Who goes to jail when the collapse comes?" 17 trill dollars dollars is a crime scene and people should be going to jail
The Money Changers Crack down on Bitcoin from Fear of losing their Monopoly
US cracks down on Bitcoin exchange
The entire idea behind Bitcoin is to provide an inflation-resistant currency option. "Currency" is anything used to trade goods and services. These trading venues are more stable than our current money system we are forced to participate in. Its a loophole in the inflation scam. The US Govt. is worried about not being able to collect bribes from Bitcoin exchanges, like they collect from the rest of the banks, so the exchanges were shut down to show them who's really in charge... and the people really in charge are the big banks who bribe the politicians.Drug money laundering and avoidance of Taxation are their main concerns... since the GOV mob has control of both still.
