Just hours before the U.S. election, North Korea reportedly fired at least one ballistic missile into its eastern sea. The exact number of missiles launched and the type of missile remain unclear at this time. It is also uncertain how far the missile or missiles traveled.
This launch follows North Korean leader Kim Jong Un supervising a recent flight test of the country's newest intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) designed to potentially reach the U.S. mainland. In response to this test, the United States conducted a trilateral drill with South Korea and Japan, involving a long-range B-1B bomber, as a show of force.
