The DPRK fired at least three short-range missiles on Saturday morning, according to South Korean and US military.
The missiles, flying more than 250 kilometers in the northeastern direction, were fired from a site in Kittaeryong in the eastern province of Gangwon at around 6:49 a.m. local time, according to South Korean military. 
US Pacific Command said the launches of three short-range ballistic missiles were detected, adding that the first and the third missiles failed in flight and the second "appears to have blown up almost immediately."
The US military also said the launches did not pose a threat to Guam or North America.

Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told reporters on Saturday that there have been no reports of "any ballistic missiles landing in our territory or our exclusive economic zone," adding that the launches do not directly threaten Japan's security.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe instructed the government to maintain a high level of caution, Suga said.
The launch came one day after DPRK's Songun Day, a public holiday to celebrate the start of the "military-first" policy, or "Songun" policy. It also came a month after Pyongyang test-fired another intercontinental ballistic missile, which is capable of reaching the US state of Alaska.
