Test fires more missiles&#xD;

&#xD;
SEOUL, South Korea (CNN) -- North Korea fired several short-range missiles toward the Sea of Japan on Saturday, an act that the U.S. watched closely and South Korea called provocative.&#xD;
&#xD;
Pyongyang fired six short-range missiles in less than seven hours, South Korea's Foreign Ministry said.&#xD;
&#xD;
The missiles were apparently Scud-type, estimated to have a range of about 500 kilometers (310 miles), according to South Korea's Yonhap news agency.&#xD;
&#xD;
South Korean intelligence estimates that North Korea has about 700 such missiles in its arsenal.&#xD;
&#xD;
Pyongyang test-fired four such missiles off the east coast Thursday, Yonhap reported.&#xD;
&#xD;
South Korea called the launches a provocative act, according to a government statement.&#xD;
&#xD;
North Korea had 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.&#xD;
&#xD;
The recent firings come amid heightened tensions on the Korean peninsula. North Korea conducted a nuclear test in May, fired test rockets and threatened U.S. and South Korean ships near its territorial waters.  Watch S. Korea confirm firing of missiles »&#xD;
&#xD;
The first two missiles were fired about 8 a.m. and 8:30 a.m., Yonhap reported. Another missile was launched about 10:45 a.m., the agency reported. A fourth one came some time after that.&#xD;
&#xD;
"The United States is aware of possible missile launches by North Korea. We are closely monitoring North Korea's activities and intentions," a U.S. official said.&#xD;
&#xD;
"This type of North Korea behavior is not helpful. What North Korea needs to do is fulfill its international obligations and commitments."&#xD;
&#xD;
Earlier this week analyst Daniel Pinkston said the reported test might be training for a future test but it could also just be a routine military exercise.&#xD;
&#xD;
"It is worrisome to some degree, but it is different from a ballistic missile launch," said Pinkston, of the International Crisis Group in Seoul, South Korea.&#xD;
&#xD;
"It's part of military training, but there seem to be no movements of troops or anything that would suggest preparations for military operations.&#xD;
&#xD;
"So yes, people are watching it, the military is watching it here, but I don't think it's related to any plans or operations to attack anyone."</description>
