The United States, South Korea and Japan have started a new initiative to share military intelligence on North Korea ballistic missiles.
The three countries began an exchange of vital data on Thursday through video conferencing, South Korean news service Money Today reported.
North Korea fired three midrange ballistic missiles on Monday that landed in Japanese territorial waters. Tokyo repeatedly failed to destroy the incoming projectiles.
On Thursday, Christopher Johnstone, the Pentagon policy expert for Northeast Asia; Park Cheol-gyun, deputy head of the international policy bureau at South Korea's defense ministry; and Koji Kano, principal director of the defense policy bureau at Tokyo's defense ministry presided over the talks.
The three sides condemned North Korea's violations of U.N. Security Council sanctions resolutions and emphasized the need for council members to respond more effectively.
