US, South Korea, Japan hold missile defense drill - here’s why

Live Mint  

The United States, South Korea, and Japan on Sunday held a joint naval missile defense exercise to counter North Korea's evolving nuclear and missile threats, the South's navy said. Washington and its Asian allies have been working to improve their information-sharing system on North Korea's missiles, while South Korea and Japan are independently linked to US radar systems but not to each other's. A South Korean Navy officer said that they will effectively respond to North Korea's nuclear and missile threats with their military's strong response system and the trilateral cooperation. The latest launch followed heated complaints from North Korea in recent days, accusing American spy planes of flying over its exclusive economic zone waters, condemning a recent visit to South Korea by a US nuclear-powered cruise missile submarine and vowing to take steps in reaction.
