(CNN) - North Korea has launched two unidentified projectiles from the Pyongan Province of the South to the East Sea, also known as the Sea of Japan, on Tuesday (local time) in the morning, the chief said in a statement South Korea Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS).
"Our army is observing the situation and maintaining readiness," said the JCS sad.
The launch is one more than half a dozen during the summer.
In August, two projectiles were launched. An American official then confirmed that North Korea launched short-range ballistic missiles and said they appear to be similar to other recent launches.
It was believed that the previous four rounds of North Korean launches were evidence of short-range missiles, which would violate UN resolutions.
