North Korea fires 2 missiles toward eastern waters after US, South Korea military drills

North Korea fired two short-range ballistic missiles toward its eastern waters on Sunday, the latest in a barrage of weapons tests a day after warning that the redeployment of a U.S. aircraft carrier near the Korean peninsula was inflaming regional tensions.

The launch, the North’s seventh round of weapons tests in two weeks, came hours after the United States and South Korea wrapped up two days of naval drills off the Korean peninsula’s east coast.

North Korea’s defence ministry called its recent missile tests a “righteous reaction” to the drills. But as Jennifer Johnson reports, the U.S. is not backing down.
