South Korean fighter jets conducted bombing drills at a military firing range on Tuesday (August 29) after North Korea fired a ballistic missile over Japan's northern Hokkaido island and into the sea earlier that morning.

The drill came after South Korean President Moon Jae-in asked the military to demonstrate capabilities to counter North Korea.

Footage from the defence ministry showed four F-15K dropping eight bombs, as well as targets on a mountainside exploding.

Pyongyang's latest missile launch, one of the most provocative ever from the reclusive state, appeared to have been of a recently developed intermediate-range Hwasong-12 missile, experts said. 

It came as US and South Korean forces conduct annual military drills on the peninsula, to which North Korea strenuously objects.
