"Joint Drills and Diplomacy: US, Japan, and South Korea Respond to North Korea's Missile Launch"

The United States conducted joint drills with South Korea and Japan, flying long-range bombers in a show of force against North Korea. The exercise aimed to strengthen the countries' joint response to North Korean nuclear threats. This comes after North Korea's recent intercontinental ballistic missile test. The trilateral training involved B-1B bombers, South Korean, and Japanese fighter jets. North Korea has previously criticized the deployment of U.S. bombers as a sign of hostility and has responded with missile tests.
