South Korea: A powerful US warship and its battle group conducted a war exercise for the first time in five years with South Korean warships off the east coast of the Korean peninsula on Monday 26 September 2022. After 1 day, North Korea has also conducted a small test, it seems that it has conducted a missile test. North Korea may conduct more deadly missile tests in the coming days. This is because South Korea and the US are conducting war exercises together. North Korea considers them its enemy. North Korea may also conduct a lot of tests to answer. North Korea is very angry and upset with this attitude of America. He has threatened in the past that if the US conducts military warfare exercises it will threaten their freedom. Which North Korea has strongly opposed in the past.

More than 20 American and South Korean naval ships, including the US nuclear superpower warship USS Ronald Reagan, an American cruiser and a South Korean destroyer, the South Korea Navy said in a statement. He has said that American and South Korean fighters and helicopters will take part in this war exercise. This will be the first naval joint military exercise with a US warship since 2017.

South Korea believes that North Korea has conducted a missile test a day earlier. Some experts believe that it could be a nuclear ballistic missile. The missile's range is enough to strike the South Korean port where the USS Ronald Reagan is already stationed.
