The US says it has carried out a successful test of its controversial anti‑missile system and has flown B‑1 bombers over the Korean peninsula.
The exercises are a direct response to recent North Korean missile tests.
A projectile fired by the US Air Force was intercepted over the Pacific by a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (Thaad) unit in Alaska.
US B‑1 bombers also conducted exercises over the Korean peninsula with South Korean and Japanese planes.
On Saturday, North Korea test‑fired a second intercontinental ballistic missile which it said proved that the entire US was within striking range.
