U.S. warships teamed up with South Korean and Japanese destroyers to practice shooting down missiles in the Sea of Japan, a show of force following multiple launches by North Korea this week.
"The exercises also demonstrate the deep strength of our trilateral relationship with Japan and the Republic of Korea, which is resolute against those who challenge regional stability," Pentagon press secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said during a press briefing Thursday.
"Chancellorsville provided air defense to the units as they conducted the ballistic missile exercise, which includes, detecting, tracking, and intercepting simulated targets, as well as coordination, communication, and information-sharing between the three countries," a statement from the command said. The simulation did not involve firing live rounds, a U.S. official told ABC News.
"As you're aware, North Korea conducted another ballistic missile launch last night, launching two short range missiles," he said. "The United States strongly condemns this irresponsible act."
