South Korean media Yonhap reporting some headlines that, to me at least, appear very misleading
(bolding is mine)
- South Korea's military said Monday it conducted a combined live-fire exercise targeting North Korea's nuclear test site
Then, more clarity from Yonhap (bolding is mine):
- In the drill, the Hyunmoo surface-to-surface missile and the F-15K's long-range air-to-ground missile accurately hit designated targets in the East Sea, according to the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS).
- The South's military, in particular, said the range to the simulated targets were set in consideration of the North's Punggye-ri nuclear test site in its northeastern province.
