South Korea, US military conduct missile drills in response to North Korea’s launch of ballistic missile over Japan

South Korea and the U.S. military conducted missile drills in response to North Korea’s launch of a ballistic missile over Japan.

Nuclear-armed North Korea test-fired an intermediate-range ballistic missile yesterday farther than ever before, sending it soaring over Japan for the first time in five years.

South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said South Korean and American troops fired a volley of missiles into the sea in response. The White House National Security Council called North Korea’s latest test dangerous and reckless.
