North Korea fires possible missile towards sea during US-South Korea drills - Reuters

North Korea fired what appears to be a missile toward the sea while the United States and South Korea are conducting joint military drills. The missile launch occurred as the two allies are engaged in their regular joint exercises. This represents another escalation in North Korea's weapons testing program amid ongoing tensions on the Korean Peninsula. The timing of the launch during U.S.-South Korea military cooperation sends a direct message of defiance to both nations.
