On, like Donkey Kong.

[Alas Babylon!]

Warning shots, or trying to hit it and missed?

[rxsid]

Good question. Reading the info, sounds like they missed it.

[lee martell]

Shots fired!

There was a similar event, or this is the same event, that took place over 10hrs ago. It was most likely a drone.

Weeeeell, After they missed it became warning shots. yeah, that’s it.

[moviefan8]

South Korea doesn’t stand a chance against the North if they cannot hit it.

They suck.

What goes up must come down. Where did the object terminate its flight?

It looks as if they are only getting a few seconds of streaming footage from their “recon drones”.
