BILL MELUGIN RESPONDS TO WHITE HOUSE OVER BORDER COVERAGE: WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE COVERING IT

JOHN KIRBY: Look, we're taking this seriously. This is now like the 23rd missile launch here just this year.

So he saw us react to it very swiftly, publicly in denouncing this launch and making it clear that it's unacceptable. It's a violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions. And we also conducted two exercises, one with our South Korean counterparts over the West Sea and one with our Japanese counterparts.
