According to the South Korean defense military, North Korea’s military has fired seven missiles into the sea in response to the ongoing United States-South Korea military drills.

While both countries insist the practice is hardly a declaration of war, North Korean despot Kim Jong-un and his country are convinced otherwise.

The weapons launched were medium-range ballistic missiles.

Two months ago, North Korea said they would suspend their nuclear program if the U.S. and South Korea canceled their annual drills. According to reports from the Associated Press however, this year’s drills are bigger and more intensive than ever before.
