Patriot Advanced Capability-3 surface-to-air guided interceptors are deployed at the U.S. Army base Camp Humphreys in Pyeongtaek, south of Seoul, on Aug. 12, 2026. North Korea fired a ballistic missile toward the East Sea the same day, marking the second such launch in less than a week in an apparent protest against the annual Ulchi Freedom Shield combined military exercise between the South and the United States.
