DULY, NORTH KOREAN VIDEOS.
FIRST NORTH KOREA SHOWING THE 
WORLD ITS NEW INTERCONTINENTAL 
BALLISTIC MISSILE.
THEN HOURS LATER, A U.S. AND 
SOUTH KOREAN SHOW OF FORCE, 
HOLDING A DRILL, FIRING MISSILES
THAT COULD DESTROY NORTH KOREAN 
TARGETS.
THE PENTAGON WARNING EVEN THE 
TEST OF THE NORTH KOREAN MISSILE
POSES NEW DANGERS.
>> THIS MISSILE FLEW THROUGH 
BUSY AIR SPACE USED BY 
COMMERCIAL AIRLINERS, IT FLEW 
THROUGH SPACE, IT LANDED IN 
JAPAN'S ECONOMIC ZONE IN AN AREA
USED BY COMMERCIAL AND FISHING 
VESSELS.
ALL OF THIS COMPLETELY 
UNCOORDINATED.
>> Reporter: THERE IS AN 
INTERNAL DEBATE BETWEEN U.S. AND
ALLIED CIRCLES ABOUT WHETHER 
THIS NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN MISSILE 
REALLY SHOWS A NORTH KOREAN 
CAPABILITY THAT HIT A TARGET 
3400 MILES AWAY, THE DEFINITION 
OF INTERCONTINENTAL RANGE.
THE CURRENT CALCULATION IS IT'S 
RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF BEING ABLE 
TO GO THAT FAR BUT WOULD NEED 
EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENT.
EXACTLY WHAT DEFENSE SECRETARY 
JAMES MATTIS RECENTLY SAID WOULD
NOT BE ALLOWED.
>> IS IT THE POLICY OF THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION TO DENY NORTH 
KOREA THE CAPABILITY OF BUILDING
AN ICBM THAT CAN HIT THE 
AMERICAN HOMELAND WITH A NUCLEAR
WEAPON ON TOP?
IS THAT THE POLICY?
>> YES, IT IS, SENATOR GRANT.
>> Reporter: U.S. COMMANDERS 
HAVE UPDATED OPTIONS FOR 
PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR A RAPID 
MILITARY RESPONSE TO NORTH 
KOREAN PROVOCATIONS.
A LIKELIHOOD THAT HAD RUSSIA'S 
FOREIGN MINISTER ISSUING A BLUNT
WARNING.
>> Translator: FOR RUSSIA AND 
CHINA, IT IS ABSOLUTELY CLEAR 
THAT ANY ATTEMPTS TO JUSTIFY THE
MILITARY SOLUTION USING THE 
SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION AS A
PRETEXT ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE.
>> Reporter: MEANWHILE, SOUTH 
KOREA SHOWING ITS OWN GRAPHIC 
VIDEO SIMULATING A RESPONSE TO A
NORTH KOREAN ATTACK, WHICH 
EXPERTS BELIEVE IS A STRONG 
POSSIBILITY IF THE U.S. WERE TO 
STRIKE.
>> SOME HAVE ADVOCATED THAT 
THERE BE A MILITARY STRIKE TO 
PREVENT NORTH KOREA FROM 
COMPLETING DEVELOPMENT OF AN 
ICBM, BUT THAT KIND OF STRIKE
