North Korea has fired two missiles simultaneously at sea. This is the fifth missile fired by North Korea in the last few weeks.
The South Korean military says these are short-range ballistic missiles.
If confirmed, this test would be in violation of UN Security Council resolutions.
Shortly before this test, US President Donald Trump said that he had received a very beautiful threat from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
US President Donald Trump said that Kim Jong Un, the top leader of North Korea, was not happy about the current joint military exercises of the US-South Korea.
Both of these missiles were fired from near the eastern city of Hamhyung in South Hmayong province and then fell into the Japan Sea of the East Korean Peninsula.
Both these missiles were fired at 05:34 local time and 05:50 at local time. These two covered a distance of about four hundred kilometers.
The South Korean military said in a statement that the missiles went to a maximum speed of 48 kilometers at a much faster rate than Mach 6.1.
In June there was a meeting between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim to restart the nuclear disarmament agreement, but since then North Korea has been continuously testing missiles and rockets one after the other.
Shortly before this missile launch, the US President referred to a letter. He said that Kim has written him a very beautiful letter.
Trump, who was vocal to reporters at the White House, said it was a very positive letter.
He said, "I think we will meet one more time." He has actually written a beautiful three-page letter ... I mean it is beautiful from beginning to end - a very beautiful letter. ''
North Korea has expressed resentment over the joint military exercise between the US and South Korea.
Although the main military exercise will begin from August 11, important preparations have started gradually.
This joint military exercise is primarily computer-simulated.
This military exercise is less important than previous exercises between the US and South Korea. On the other hand, North Korea considers this to be a provocative action.
