As part of a combined joint air exercise with South Korea, the United States flew a supersonic bomber in a show of force against North Korea which launched ballistic missiles of continental range in East Sea this week.
Price said this action underscores the need for all countries to fully implement North Korea's related UN Security Council resolutions, which are intended to prohibit the country from acquiring the technologies needed to carry out missile tests.
Earlier on Thursday, it was reported that Pyongyang had fired an unknown ballistic missile toward the Sea of Japan. Media reports had said that the missile is believed to be an intermediate- or long-range missile.
