North Korea says intercontinental ballistic missile was to warn US, South Korea over joint drills

India Today  

North Korea's Thursday missile launch was a drill to demonstrate a tough response posture to the ongoing US-South Korea military drills. According to the state media reports, North Korea said the launch was its largest Hwasong-17 intercontinental ballistic missile fired during the drill. North Korea fired the ICBM into the sea between the Korean peninsula and Japan on Thursday, hours before South Korea's president flew to Tokyo for a summit that discussed ways to counter the nuclear-armed North. JOINT DRILLS BY SOUTH KOREA AND US On Monday, South Korean and American forces began 11 days of joint drills, dubbed "Freedom Shield 23", which were held on a scale not seen since 2017 to counter the North's growing threats.
