North Korea Fires Nuclear-Capable Missiles Ahead Of US Elections
By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent Worthy News
PYONGYANG/SEOUL (Worthy News) – With much of the Western world’s attention focused on Tuesday’s U.S. presidential election, North Korea fired multiple short-range nuclear-capable ballistic missiles toward its eastern sea, the South Korean military said.
It came as the autocratic-run Asian nation continued its weapons demonstrations hours before the polls were due to open in the U.S. presidential vote.
South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff didn’t immediately specify the number of missiles detected or how far they flew.
Japan’s Defense Ministry said the missiles were believed to have already landed at sea, and there were no immediate reports of damages.
The launch came days after North Korean leader Kim Jong Un supervised a flight test of the country’s newest intercontinental ballistic missile designed to reach the U.S. mainland.
In response to that launch, the United States flew a long-range B-1B bomber in a trilateral drill with South Korea and Japan on Sunday in a show of force.
That drew condemnation from Kim’s influential sister, who on Tuesday accused the North’s rivals of raising tensions with “aggressive and adventuristic military threats.”
However, the United States military reacted by saying the launches posed no “immediate threat.”
“While we have assessed that this event does not pose an immediate threat to US personnel, or territory, or our allies, we continue to monitor the situation,” U.S. Indo-Pacific Command said.
It also comes as North Korea sent troops to participate in the Russia-Ukraine war, potentially an armed conflict that has kept NATO military alliance members on edge.
