(CNN) -- North Korea launched three short-range guided missiles into the sea off the Korean Peninsula's east coast Saturday, South Korea's semi-official news agency Yonhap cited the South Korean Defense Ministry as saying.
The ministry said it had detected two launches in the morning, followed by another in the afternoon, Yonhap reported.
The missiles were fired in a northeasterly direction, away from South Korean waters, the ministry said.
South Korea has beefed up monitoring on North Korea and is maintaining a high-level of readiness to deal with any risky developments, the ministry added, according to Yonhap.
According to the Arms Control Association, a U.S.-based organization, short-range guided missiles are generally classified as those traveling less than 1,000 kilometers (about 620 miles.)
North Korea rattles saber again Memories of fighting for North Korea Orphaned and homeless in North KoreaTensions in the region have eased in recent days since a fraught period last month that included near daily North Korean threats of war.
U.S. and South Korean officials feared at that time that Kim Jong Un's regime was planning to carry out a test launch of longer-range ballistic missiles, believed to be Musudans. The South Korean government says they have a maximum range of 3,500over 5,000 kilometers (2,175 miles).
Andrew Salmon, a journalist and author based in the South Korean capital, Seoul, said North Korea's reported launch of short-range missiles Saturday should not cause the same degree of concern as the launch of a satellite or medium-range Musudan rocket.
"It's a short-range tactical weapon. If any other country launched this kind of weapon, it's a routine test, nobody would be too worried. It's really simply because it's North Korea doing this that it raises concerns," he said.
The situation is much less tense in the region than it was last month, Salmon said.
"The North Koreans have significantly de-escalated their bellicosity and their rhetoric since the end of April," he said. "The South Korean government, I suspect, will not be strongly condemnatory of this test because right now they are very, very keen to get the North Koreans to the negotiating table."
The recent tensions flared after the North's long-range rocket launch in December and underground nuclear test in February, both of which were widely condemned.
Pyongyang's fiery rhetoric intensified in March as the U.N. Security Council voted to tighten sanctions on the regime following the nuclear test.
Annual U.S.-South Korean military drills in South Korea also fueled the North's anger, especially when the United States carried out displays of strength that included nuclear-capable B2 stealth bombers.
North Korea is demanding recognition as a nuclear power, something the United States refuses to countenance.
Last month's crisis resulted in the closure of the Kaesong Industrial Complex, the last major symbol of inter-Korean cooperation.
서울아산병원, 주요 장기이식 세계 1위

지난해 간, 생체 신장이식 403, 202건 기록
서울아산병원은 지난해 간이식 수술과 생체 신장이식 수술에서 세계 최다 기록을 달성했다고 12일 밝혔다.
서울아산병원 장기이식센터에 따르면 1969년부터 시작된 국내 장기이식 현황을 분석한 결과, 서울아산병원이 지난해 간, 신장, 심장, 췌장 4가지 장기에서 실시한 수술 건수가 국내 장기이식 역사에서 연간 최다인 것으로 나타났다. 특히 간이식과 생체 신장이식은 각각 세계에서 가장 많은 403건, 202건을 기록했다. 세계에서 간이식을 두 번째로 많이 시행한 의료기관인 미국 UCLA 대학의 건 수도 서울아산병원의 절반인 200건에 불과하다.
지난해 신장이식팀은 255건의 수술을 집행하여 98%의 성공률을 기록했는데, 이 중 202건이 생체 신장이식 수술이었다. 간이식팀은 2007년부터 5년 연속 연 300건 이상의 간이식 수술 건수를 기록하고 있으며, 성공률도 97%에 달한다. 또 심장이식팀은 심장이식 수술 41건에 성공률 95%, 췌장이식팀은 수술 27건에 성공률 97%를 기록해 분야별 역대 국내 최다 수술 건수를 기록했다. 폐이식과 각막이식도 지난 21년간 서울아산병원 자체 장기이식 역사상 연 최고를 기록해 모든 장기이식 분야가 골고루 발전하고 있는 것으로 나타났다.
장기이식센터 이승규 소장은 “이러한 성과는 세계 최강 의료진의 노하우, 수술 단계마다 역할을 나누어 수행하는 조직적인 팀워크, 세계 최고의 중환자실을 비롯한 체계적인 환자 관리시스템이 조화를 이루어 유기적으로 작동했기 때문에 가능했다”며 “국내외 장기이식 역사에 새로운 이정표를 남겼다는 현실에 안주하지 않고, 앞으로도 더 많은 생명을 살릴 수 있도록 최선을 다하겠다”고 밝혔다.
