South Korea hits back at DPRK missile launch with display of its own
South Korea and the US launched eight ballistic missiles into the sea on Monday, as a response to Sunday’s massive launch by North Korea over the country’s eastern and western coasts.
The countries launched eight Army Tactical Missile System projectiles, one American and seven Korean, into the eastern waters of South Korea, according to Seoul’s Joint Chiefs of Staff and US Forces Korea.
The Korean military said the display – which lasted 10 minutes – was meant to showcase its ability to respond “swiftly and accurately” to North Korean attacks.
