The Joint Chiefs of Staff said it detected the launch of "unidentified" ballistic missiles from North Korea's Hwanghae province at around 1.50 pm local time (0450GMT), the Seoul-based Yonhap News reported.
The military, however, did not provide further details.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff also said it has bolstered surveillance and maintained a full readiness posture under close cooperation with the US.
