South Korea's air force effectively fired back at North Korea's missile launch over Japan by conducting a live-fire drill involving powerful bombs, officials said early Tuesday. Park also said South Korean national security director Chung Eui-yong called President Donald Trump's national security adviser H.R. The Pentagon told reporters it was investigating the launch over Japan, adding: "North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) determined the missile launch from North Korea did not pose a threat to North America." The South Korean military said it was analyzing the launch with the United States and strengthened its monitoring and preparation in case of further actions from North Korea. The allies say the war games are defensive and meant to counter North Korean aggression.
