North Korea test\u002Dfired two short\u002Drange ballistic missiles Tuesday in another show of force after the U.S. and South Korea began military drills
Worries about North Korea’s nuclear program have grown sharply after the North last year tested a barrage of missiles, many of them nuclear-capable missiles, and openly threatened to use them in potential conflicts with the United States and South Korea..North Korea appears to be using long-stalled talks with the United States and the expanding U.S.-South Korean drills as a chance to enlarge its weapons arsenals to increase its leverage in future dealings with the United States.
On Monday, North Korea said it had test-fired two cruise missiles from a submarine. It implied the cruise missiles were being developed to carry nuclear warheads and claimed that the latest test verified the posture of the country’s “nuclear war deterrence.” U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan said Monday that North Korea has been refining its submarine-launch capabilities since its first test in 2016 and that the United States were studying Sunday’s launches to assess what they mean in terms of the North’s capabilities.Article content
The U.S.-South Korean joint exercises that started Monday include computer simulations involving North Korean aggression and other security scenarios and field exercises. The field exercises would return to the scale of the allies’ biggest springtime exercises that were last held in 2018, according to South Korean defense officials.
