North Korea launched a number of cruise missiles towards the Yellow Sea between China and the Korean Peninsula.
The South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement today that the launch took place in the early hours of the morning, just three days after Pyongyang launched two ballistic missiles in the Sea of Japan, noting that South Korean and American intelligence are evaluating the launch.
This new military test comes two days after Pyongyang announced that stopping a US nuclear submarine in South Korea might justify its use of nuclear weapons. Seoul responded the next day to this threat, stressing that any such attack would mean the “end” of Kim Jong-Un’s regime.
It is noteworthy that the leaders of South Korea, the United States and Japan will meet, next August, to enhance their cooperation in the face of the growing threats of Pyongyang, and Washington and Seoul are scheduled to start, in the same month, their main annual joint military exercises.
