Summary

In response to North Korea’s recent intercontinental ballistic missile test, the U.S., South Korea, and Japan conducted a joint air drill, flying a U.S. B-1B bomber near the Korean Peninsula. South Korean and Japanese fighter jets escorted the bomber, showcasing their readiness to counter North Korea’s growing threats.

The drill followed North Korea’s launch of the Hwasong-19 missile, reportedly capable of reaching the U.S. mainland, signaling the allies’ commitment to regional security amid rising tensions.

Otherwise agreed. I guess the news part is that it's done "in response to" what NK did recently - like this is an extra joint air drill that otherwise wouldn't have taken place if NK hadn't done anything.

That said, I recall reading the same kind of articles back in 2012, and in 2016, and 2018, and ... so, agreed in full.
