The North fired the missiles at 5:42 p.m. (08:42 GMT) just north of the border with the South, the official said, giving no details on the purpose of the launch.

Pyongyang threatened Seoul and the United States with war and closed off the joint industrial zone in Kaesong following a new round of international sanctions, but later voiced willingness to negotiate.
