Pyongyang's latest firing exercise came as Seoul and Washington staged their largest-ever joint air drills.

People gathered around televisions in Seoul on Wednesday as news broke that North Korea had fired more than 10 missiles, including one that landed close to South Korea's waters -- in what President Yoon Suk-yeol said was "effectively a territorial invasion".

Pyongyang's latest test firing came as Seoul and Washington staged their largest-ever joint air drills, dubbed 'Vigilant Storm' and which involve hundreds of warplanes from both sides.
