South Korea conducts live-fire exercises for second day

South Korea on Tuesday conducted live-fire exercises for a second straight day in a show of strength after North Korea claimed to have tested a hydrogen bomb, The Associated Press reported. 

Seoul simulated a strike against Pyongyang in drills on Monday. 

The exercises come after North Korea claimed Sunday that it successfully tested a miniaturized hydrogen bomb that can be placed on an intercontinental ballistic missile.

President Trump in a Monday call with South Korean President Moon Jae-in agreed to lift limits on South Korea’s missile payload capabilities in light of the recent claim from North Korea.
