On Monday during the hearings, the senators inquired from the defense minister whether there was a plan in the Pentagon in case of a missile attack from North Korea, stressing that it would then be “not minutes, but minutes.”
In any case, the president will raise. I can say that we train this (actions in the event of a rocket attack) constantly,
said Mattis.
According to the minister, first of all "tracking stations and anti-missiles located in Alaska and California will be involved." Then the president of the country "will be presented with a wide range of options" for retaliatory actions, including jointly with the US allies in the region, by which Washington traditionally means South Korea and Japan.
