SEOUL/WASHINGTON, Aug 26 (Reuters) - North Korea fired several short-range missiles into the sea off its east coast early on Saturday, South Korea and the U.S. military said, as the two allies conducted annual joint military drills that the North denounces as preparation for war.

The U.S. military's Pacific Command said it had detected three short-range ballistic missiles, fired over a 20 minute period. All of the missiles failed, with one blowing up almost immediately after launch, while two others failed in flight, it added.

I doubt they really failed. More likely they are testing US reaction. You don't go from successfully launching ICBMs and then failing short range missiles.
