The Seoul military announced today that South Korea and the United States have fired eight ballistic missiles in response to North Korea’s weapons tests yesterday.
South Korea’s Chiefs of Staff said the allies launched ATACMS surface-to-surface missiles against targets in the East Sea, also known as the Sea of Japan.
The 10-minute action comes a day after Pyongyang launched eight short-range ballistic missiles following joint US-South Korea exercises that set an aircraft carrier in motion.
Our army strongly condemns the provocative ballistic missile series and demands an end to actions that increase military tension on the peninsula.
The North Korean communist regime stepped up its weapons development program in 2022 despite economic sanctions against Pyongyang.
A top official from South Korea and the United States, as well as analysts, believe that the country led by Kim Jong Un is preparing to conduct a nuclear test.
Monday’s shooting marks the second joint show of force between Seoul and Washington since the inauguration of new South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol, who advocated a firmer stance against Pyongyang.
Last month, the two countries launched several missiles after North Korea launched three ballistic missiles, one of which was intercontinental range.
