AZUZ: American leaders are discussing how to respond to North Korea's latest's weapons test. It involved a missile that flew over Japan, a U.S. ally, before landing somewhere in the Pacific Ocean on Tuesday. North Korea's government controlled media called it a, quote, meaningful prelude 1 to containing Guam. That's a U.S. territory in the Pacific.


Meanwhile, the U.S. military ran a successful test of its own on Wednesday, when an American destroyer at sea shot down a missile that was test-fired from an American base in Hawaii. Defense 2 Secretary James Mattis says America is never out of diplomatic solutions to international problems.


But as you're about to see, the U.S. does have a backup plan.


KYUNG LAH, CNN CORRESPONDENT: This is America's final shield, the last and only protection against an incoming North Korean nuclear missile, housed deep underground in the heart of Alaska's wilderness 3 at Fort Greely, about 150 miles north of Fairbanks. The heavily armed 49th Missile Defense Battalion 4 secures 38 missile silos, dotting a landscape frigid 5 even in late summer. The tip barely revealing what lies beneath.
