South Korea's military said it detected multiple short-range ballistic missiles that were launched from an area south of Pyongyang and flew about 350 kilometers (220 miles) toward the northeast. The South's Joint Chiefs of Staff didn't release more specific flight details but said the missiles didn't land in the sea.

North Korea last fired short-range ballistic and cruise missiles towards the East Sea five months ago, on May 8 and May 22, meaning the latest launch is the first under South Korea's new president, Lee Jae Myung, who took office in June, Yonhap said.

Experts had warned that North Korea could launch provocative missile tests before or during the APEC summit to underscore its commitment to being recognised as a nuclear-armed state, The Associated Press news agency reports.
