WASHINGTON - The highest-ranking military officer in the United States is downplaying the latest missile launch by North Korea, even though it could be a few more days before military analysts are done with their assessments.
“I don’t think it is particularly provocative or threatening to us,†Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters during a briefing at the Pentagon Tuesday.
“These were not any particularly big missiles,†he said, adding that the timing of the launch might have more to do with events playing out in Pyongyang.
