North Korean supreme leader 'guided again the test-fire of newly-developed large-caliber multiple launch guided rocket system' just as the U.S. and South Korea defied him with joint exercises.
North Korea has revealed the weapons system tested in its latest missile launch just days before the United States and South Korea kicked off military exercises in defiance of warnings from their longtime rival with whom they sought peace.
"very great and it would be an inescapable distress to the forces becoming a fat target of the weapon." Less than a week before that, Kim said after the test of what appeared to be a mobile short-range ballistic missile system that was"a solemn warning" to South Korea over its decision to hold military exercises.
The sources also reportedly indicated that the maneuvers were set to replace the annual Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint drills often held in spring. The two countries have suspended the exercises amid unprecedented levels of diplomacy with North Korea and the"Alliance 19-2" name may be dropped from the yet unannounced drills to further avoid provoking Pyongyang.
