U.S. and South Korean military jets dropped bombs in a mock drill near the South’s border with North Korea—just two days after Pyongyang fired a missile over Japan.

The bombs were dropped in eastern Gangwon Province, which borders North Korea, the U.S. Pacific Command stated, adding that drill took place in the Pilsung area, a bombing range.
