Japan, South Korea and the United States have held a joint naval missile defense exercise to counter North Korea’s “nuclear and missile threats”, days after Pyongyang launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).
The US has deployed a nuke-armed submarine to North Korea’s doorstep for the first time in 40 years amid fears of an escalation in tension.
The platform is USS Kentucky SSBN.
