The missiles traveled about 380 kilometers and reached an altitude of 97 km at a maximum speed of Mach 6.5 before crashing into the Sea of Japan, known in Korea as the East Sea.
"Our troops are following the movements of the North in the event of an additional launch, and are ready for any eventuality," the South Korean staff added in a statement.
The South Korean presidency has assembled its National Security Council (NSC) following these weapons tests and expressed "deep concern" in a statement, AFP said.
In recent weeks, North Korea has increased weapon trials to protest US-South Korean military maneuvers, which it considers a repeat of an invasion of its territory.
