North Korea fired two short-range ballistic missiles toward the East Sea Monday morning, its fourth test in less than a month.
The country fired two suspected ballistic missiles into the sea in its fourth weapons launch this month.SEOUL, South Korea --
It was the fourth missile launch this year, following two self-claimed hypersonic missile tests on Jan. 5 and Jan. 11 and last Friday’s short-range ballistic missile that the secluded regime’s state news agency, KCNA, claimed was launched from a rail car. North Korea has said its weapons development is a rightful act of self-defense. The country blames the U.S. for escalated tensions.
“We could say that the situation has escalated as the United States took out the sanctions card in response to North Korea's recent missile test launch,” Kim Yong-hyun, professor of North Korean studies at Seoul-based Dongguk University, told ABC News. “Through missile experiments, Kim Jong Un intends to highlight North Korea’s presence while the United States is mainly taking care of Ukraine issues, and at the same time maintain solidarity among their people.
