Tensions have recently increased significantly: North Korea conducted a missile test just last week. Now the South Korean military is reporting another incident.
North Korea has again fired two ballistic missiles, according to the South Korean military. According to the general staff, the rockets flew towards the sea between the Korean peninsula and Japan on Wednesday (local time), as reported by the Yonhap news agency. A US nuclear submarine had previously arrived here. The United States and South Korea had reportedly started a new security dialogue.
According to the leadership in Pyongyang, just last week the self-proclaimed nuclear power North Korea had tested a new type of long-range rocket with solid fuel propulsion. UN decisions prohibit the internationally isolated country from testing ballistic missiles of any range. Depending on the design, such rockets can also be equipped with a nuclear warhead.
Tensions on the Korean Peninsula have recently increased significantly. After an unprecedented series of missile tests last year, North Korea has again tested nuclear-capable missiles several times this year.
