One short-range missile was fired into the Sea of Japan, Yonhap quoted an intelligence official as saying.
Initial reports from the region said that two or more anti-ship missiles were fired off North Korea's east and west coasts. But there were no launches off the west coast, the official told the agency. Some South Korean media reports now say that only one missile was fired. Daily JoongAng Ilbo said that the missile - a land-to-ship type called the Silkworm or HY-2 - landed 100km (62 miles) from North Korea's eastern coast.
However, a further test was possible, another source said, citing an ongoing ban on North Korean fishing boats from entering western coastal areas.
