North Korea's launch of what appear to be two short-range ballistic missiles on Tuesday morning marks the fourth launch in about two weeks.
On July 25 and 31, North Korea launched two short-range ballistic missiles each from an area near the eastern city of Wonsan toward the Sea of Japan, according to the South Korean military and the US Defense Department.
They say the North also fired two missiles last Friday from an area near Yonghung in South Hamgyong province, the country's eastern region, toward the Sea of Japan.
Tuesday's launch is believed to have happened in South Hwanghae province, southwestern region.
