US Navy shoots down test ballistic missile amid rising tension with North Korea

A giant North Korean flag, center, atop a 160-meter (525-foot) tower in North Korea, flutters in the wind, seen from Paju, South Korea, Tuesday, Aug. 29, 2017. In a first, North Korea on Tuesday fired a midrange ballistic missile designed to carry a nuclear payload that flew over Japan and splashed into the northern Pacific Ocean, officials said. The aggressive missile launch -- likely the longest ever from the North -- over the territory of a close U.S. ally sends a clear message of defiance as Washington and Seoul conduct war games nearby.
