    The launch comes amid a US-South Korea joint annual military exercise.

    The North had earlier threatened to fire nuclear-capable missiles at the US Pacific territory of Guam but later backed down.

    The US military said the latest tests don't threaten either the US or Guam.

    North Korean missile tests a show of force

    The missiles were fired from North Korea's Gangwon province and travelled around 250-km.

    The North often conducts tests as a show of force in response to US-South Korea military exercises.

    "The first and third missiles... failed in flight. The second missile launch... appears to have blown up almost immediately," the US military said.

    South Korea said it's monitoring the North to counter "further provocations."
