Fox News
South Korea's military said it detected a short-range ballistic missile launched from North Korea into the sea near its western coast on Thursday, following a threat from Kim Yo Jong, the sister of dictator Kim Jong-Un.
The launch was a show of aggression that came days after Kim Yo Jong, the sister of dictator Kim Jong-Un, threatened "quick, overwhelming action" in response to a joint military exercise between the U.S. and South Korea.

The military exercise involved a U.S. B-52 bomber capable of carrying nuclear weapons flying over the Korean Peninsula along with South Korean warplanes. North Korea has previously described such exercises as "provocations."
