U.S. & South Korea's tit-for-tat: 8 ballistic missiles fired to counter N. Korea

In a sharp response to missile tests by North Korea, the United States and South Korea fired eight ballistic missiles. This comes a day after North Korea launched eight short-range ballistic missiles following a South Korea-U.S. joint military exercise involving a U.S. aircraft carrier. A ground-to-ground Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missile was launched at targets in the East Sea, also known as the Sea of Japan, in the early morning. Yonhap news agency reported that the militaries of South Korea and the United States fired eight surface-to-surface missiles over 10 minutes starting at 4:45 am. U.S. Indo-Pacific Command said the exercise included one U.S. Army missile and seven from South Korea. Watch this video for more details.
