They were aimed off to the east, into the Sea of Japan, and flew about four hundred miles, making it two thirds of the way to Japan.
The launches came as the US joined Japan and South Korea in talks to discuss how to defend against any North Korean hostility.
By launching the missiles, North Korea once again violated UN Security Council resolutions.
It also follows a series of rocket, artillery, and smaller missile launches over the last few weeks while the US and South Korea were conducting joint naval exercises.
No warnings were announced before any of the launches, however only this latest launch came near shipping lanes.
Nodong missiles, which were used Wednesday, are capable of carrying nuclear payloads.
