North Korea has fired three short-range missiles from its east coast, South Korea's defence ministry said.
Two missiles were fired on Saturday morning and one in the afternoon, the ministry said in a statement.
Officials at the ministry said they were "monitoring the situation and remain on alert".
The launches come at a time of stalemate between the two neighbours following weeks of high tension earlier this year.
Saturday's missiles were fired in a north-east direction, and did not pose the same threat as the intermediate-range missiles Pyongyang was believed to have deployed along its coastline last month.
It removed them from the launch site early in May, indicating a lowering of tension on the peninsula, a US official said.
