MOSCOW (Sputnik) - South Korea has conducted live-fire ballistic missile exercises in response to Pyongyang's missile tests, the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said on Friday.
"Through this live-fire exercise, our military demonstrated its strong resolve to respond to any North Korean provocation as well as the capabilities and posture for precision strikes against the enemy's origin of provocation," the Yonhap news agency quoted the JCS as saying.
A Hyunmoo-II surface-to-surface ballistic missile was launched into the Yellow Sea from the western coastal county of Taean, targeting a supposed maritime target, the military said, adding that it maintains readiness to "overwhelmingly" respond to any North Korean provocation.
