South Korea and the United States launched eight surface-to-surface missiles early Monday in response to North Korea’s volley of short-range ballistic missiles a day earlier.

The exercise included one US Army missile and seven from South Korea, fired over a 10-minute period starting at 4:45 a.m. local time on Monday (19:45 GMT Sunday).

Japan and the US also conducted a joint military exercise on Sunday in response to Pyongyang’s latest missile tests.
