INTERNATIONAL: The United States and South Korea held combined live-fire drills on Wednesday (May 25), in response to the North conducting missile launches hours after U.S. President Joe Biden left Asia, both militaries said.

The drills included surface-to-surface missile tests involving the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) of the United States and South Korea’s Hyunmoo-2 short-range ballistic missile (SRBM).

Earlier in the day, North Korea fired three missiles. The first appeared to be an ICBM, the second was unidentified and appeared to have failed mid-flight, while the third was a SRBM, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said.

In Seoul over the weekend, Biden and Yoon had agreed to hold bigger military drills and deploy more U.S. strategic assets if necessary to deter North Korea's intensifying weapons tests.
