------------------------------------------------------------------

The Pentagon says it successfully tested its THAAD anti-missile system
for the 14th consecutive time on Tuesday. The test in Alaska comes as
tensions continue to rise between the U.S. and North Korea. The U.S. has
deployed a THAAD anti-missile system to South Korea amid the rising
