Like two other times, North Korea fired missiles on the East Sea, South Korea said.
Officials in Seoul said they are in a state of readiness and that “are monitoring the situation in case of further shootouts”.
United States President Donald Trump has made efforts to resume arms negotiations with North Korea.
The White House downplayed missile concessions, naming them as “too standard”, while saying Trump is still open to negotiations.
On July 31, North Korea tested two rockets that flew about 250 miles [250 km] to a maximum height of 30 miles [30 km].
Phenjan tested a rocket on July 25th.
These developments come after Trump, in late June, met with the northeastern leader, Kim Jong Un, in the demilitarised area dividing the two Koreas and agreed to resume talks on the Korean Peninsula's nuclear disarming.
