North Korea test-fired two mid-range ballistic missiles into the sea off its east coast on Wednesday, South Korea has said.

The move from Pyongyang comes hours after its rivals South Korea, Japan and the United States met in the Netherlands to discuss the security threat posed by the country.

According to Fox News, a South Korean military official said two likely Rodong missiles flew about 650 kilometers off North Korea's east coast early on Wednesday.

The launch would be a violation of U.N. resolutions and a big step up from a series of shorter-range rocket launches the North has staged in recent weeks in apparent protest of ongoing annual military drills by Washington and Seoul, the report added.
