South Korea's military is preparing for more North Korean missile launches in the coming days after the hardline communist state fired four missiles overnight.
The missiles were launched from a base on North Korea's east coast and landed 100 kilometres away, in the Sea of Japan.
It is also the first test by the communist state since the UN imposed fresh sanctions on the North last month.
The missiles were launched from a base near the eastern port of Wonsan, a South Korean defence ministry spokesman said.
