Pyongyang, Sept 5 (IBNS) : North Korea fired three ballistic missiles into the sea off its east coast on Monday morning, CNN International reported quoting South Korea's military.

The missiles were fired from areas around Hwangju county, in North Hwanghae province, towards the Sea of Japan, South Korea's military said in a statement.

The launch was believed to be of mid-range Rodong missiles, and flew about 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) "without giving any prior navigational warning."

This was the latest in a series of launches by North this year in violation of UN Security Council resolutions.

In a statement, the US said it "strongly condemns" the multiple launches, which came at a potentially embarrassing time for North Korea's only real ally, China, which is currently hosting the G20 summit in Hangzhou.
