According to a new report from the Korea Times, South Korea accidentally hit its own air force base during a missile test. The accident caused a fire that sent the wrong message: that South Korea and the U.S. are prepared to respond to any military action by North Korea. The United States and South Korea will each launch two Army Tactical Missile System (Atacms) missiles in a coordinated drill after North Korea launched a missile over Japan. One of the missiles malfunctioned and landed on the air force base. It landed less than a mile from the houses.
The sound of an explosion and a large fire could be heard in Gangneung, but no one was injured. The explosion left locals worried that it could have been an attack and civilians were left in the dark until wednesday morning because of a news embargo on the drills.
South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff told the Washington Post that the missile didn't explode and that the fire was only the result of burning rocket fuel.
In response to the missile test by North Korea, the U.S. sent up Air Force F-16s from Kunsan Air Base. In a rare move, the US aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan will return to the Korean peninsula despite just leaving that region.
The dramatic brinkmanship with a nuclear-armed North Korea come as the world is already concerned about the prospect of a potential nuclear war with Russia as President Vladimir Putin continues to make weird threats. The U.S. and its allies are said to have helped push Russia's military back. If things don't go well, the U.S. and Russia could engage in a military conflict.
