North Korea again tested its missile arsenal on Monday, launching three missiles that US Strategic Command said did not pose any threat.

The US and South Korea on July 7 agreed to deploy a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense missile system on the Korean Peninsula, and a joint working group of the two countries are determining where the optimal deployment site will be.
