A views of the North Korea's Scud-B missile(L) and South Korea's missile(R) at the Korea War Memorial Museum in Seoul, South Korea. on 02 July 2009. North Korea test-fired two short-range missiles off its east coast on 02 July, officials in Seoul said.
North Korea has test-fired Thursday two short-range surface-to-ship missiles off its east coast from a base near the port of Wonsan at about 0900 GMT.
This was announced by a spokesman for the South Korea's Defense Ministry, the BBC reported.
Pyongyang had warned shipping to stay out of waters off its east coast.
The UN tightened sanctions against North Korea after it launched several missiles and carried out an underground nuclear test in May.
South Korean media had reported that a missile launch was imminent. Previous North Korean warnings to shipping to avoid its coastal waters have been preludes to test launches.
Japanese and South Korean media have also reported that North Korea may be preparing to launch a long-range ballistic missile.
Such a rocket was launched in May, with Pyongyang saying it was intended to put a satellite into orbit.
There are fears that North Korea is trying to produce nuclear warheads small enough to put on long-range missiles.
