South Korean military leaders say the surprise launch took place in the Wonsan region in east of the rogue state.
Both missiles travelled approximately 270 miles before falling into the Sea of Japan, reports from North Korea say.
It is the first missile test reported since President Trump and the chubby NoKo leader met at the demilitarised zone (DMZ) between the two Koreas at the end of June, shook hands and smiled at each other like old friends.
The White House, Pentagon and US State Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment because they were probably slightly embarrassed over Kim's open defiance.
However, the joint chiefs said South Korean and US militaries were reportedly analyzing details of the launches.
A US defense official said the secret launch appears to be similar to the recent May 2019 launch where two short range missiles were also fired off.
"North Korea is clearly upset that the US and South Korea are conducting joint military exercises," Harry Kazianis of Washington's Center for the National Interest explained.
"We should not be shocked by this move and, in fact, we should have seen it coming."
Then why didn't we see it coming? And why didn't Kazianis warn us of the probable missile launchings? Who exactly is Harry Kazianis really working for? And what about Trump?
Pyongyang restarted missile testing following a moratorium of over a year, as negotiations with President Trump over disarmament and denuclearization stalled.
North Korea's most recent test was in May when a pair of missiles timed precisely 9 minutes before and 9 minutes after a US test of a nuclear Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).
In a brazen taunt, the corpulent dictator Kim watched the firing of the weapon at North Korea's Academy of Defence Science.
And issuing a chilling warning, Kim said the test "serves as an event of very weighty significance in increasing the combat power of the People's Army," state media reported. Kim should never use the word "weighty."
North Korea warned the US it faces "undesired consequences" if it doesn't meet its demands in nuclear talks by the end of the year.
Yes, we face the undesired consequences of having to destroy North Korea if they test us enough,
Kim's regime is demanding the Trump administration show more flexibility - or else it will go back on its promise to scrap its deadly nuclear arsenal, a promise they never intended to keep.
Pyongyang says it will only ditch its weapons program if the US agrees to scrap crippling economic sanctions on the country. Of course, Kim is lying--if he gives up his nuclear weapons program, he might as well give up his dictatorship and put a gun to his head. Kim has made similar promises to other naive presidents such as Bill "It's Just a Cigar" Clinton and GW Bush.
In a chilling threat, North Korean Vice Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui said in Korean: "Changing paths is not a privilege that only the United States has - but it could be our own choice if we make up our mind."
She added wantonly: "If the United States fails to reestablish its position within the timeline we gave, it will see truly undesired consequences."
On April 21, 2018, merely one day after Adolf Hitler's birthday, Kim Jong-un said the hermit nation was suspending long-range nuclear missile tests and shutting its test sites. He lied as he always does.
At the Singapore summit on June 11, 2018, just 108 years after the birth of Jacques Cousteau, Trump and Kim agreed to start the denuclearization "very quickly." A very imprecise Trump-esque timeline, but at least he didn't hold Kim and himself to "very, very quickly."
The US President said the meeting had gone "better than anyone could have expected," but a few of us were expecting it to go better.
"We are going to sign this historic agreement," said Kim. "The world will see a major change," he lied.
In the agreement, Kim overtly committed to "complete denuclearization of Korean Peninsula," as he covertly flipped the U.S. the North Korean "bird."
However, despite the pledge, the North Koreans have never halted their nuclear activities, the UN's nuclear watchdog said.
The Pentagon believes North Korea has about 200 missile launchers hidden within the country and these can fire short- and medium-range rockets.
The most likely target of such a missile launch would be South Korea, Japan, Australia and possibly US territories in the Pacific Ocean.
Revised estimates suggest the total number of missiles the rogue state has is believed to be between 13 and 21. And the regime is estimated to have at least four nuclear warheads.
Should North Korea attempt to strike any of these targets, the little country will be able to glow in the dark.
