South Korea, US, Japan conduct missile defense exercise
"...The Republic of Korea Navy's Aegis destroyer ROKS Sejong the Great held a drill with Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Barry and a Japanese Atago-class Aegis destroyer. The trilateral exercise took place shortly after North Korea launched a Hwasong-15 ICBM last Saturday that is believed to be theoretically capable of hitting targets anywhere on the U.S. mainland. It also fired two short-range ballistic missiles towards the East Sea...The trilateral missile defense exercise took place for the first time since Oct. 6, 2022, when ROKS Sejong the Great conducted a three-way naval exercise alongside Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Chancellorsville and Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Benfold, part of the USS Ronald Reagan Carrier Strike Group, and Japan's destroyers JS Chokai and JS Ashigara in response to North Korea's provocations."
