"One was fired at 5:20 p.m. and the other at 6 p.m. from Sinsang-ni," near the eastern coastal city of Wonsan, South Korean defense ministry spokesman Won Tae-jae said, according to Yonhap.
The launch was expected. The North Korean government issued a warning to mariners to avoid an area in the Sea of Japan at certain times between June 24 and July 9 because of a "military firing exercise," according to a U.S. military communication about the warning provided to CNN.
The North issued a similar warning before testing a long-range missile in April, but that warning indicated two potential danger areas more indicative of a long-range missile test.

He was supposed to fire off missiles around the 4th of July. I wonder if this is it?

What is this guy thinking?

At least they warned people first?I would say that if they did not and something happened some country just may lay waste to there entire nuke weaponry and scorch the earth around it.North Korea is either next to flip or next to fall.
