North Korea fires two ballistic missiles in resumption of testing
The HinduNorth Korea test-fired a pair of nuclear-capable ballistic missiles with a range of striking Japan on December 18, in a possible protest of Tokyo’s adoption of a new security strategy to push for more offensive footing against North Korea and China. In an emergency meeting, top South Korean security officials deplored North Korea’s continued provocations that they said came despite “the plight of its citizens moaning in hunger and cold due to a serious food shortage.” They said South Korea will boost a trilateral security cooperation with the U.S. and Japan, according to South Korea’s presidential office. It said the U.S. commitments to the defense of South Korea and Japan “remain ironclad.” Kwon Yong Soo, a former professor at Korea National Defense University in South Korea, said North Korea likely tested its Pukguksong-2 missile, a solid-fueled, land-based variant of its Pukguksong family of missiles that can be fired from submarines. “North Korea staged an armed protest with a land version of a submarine-launched ballistic missile that it can fire quickly in response” to the Japanese national security strategy, Kwon said. North Korea already has a growing arsenal of short-range, solid-fueled ballistic missiles targeting key locations in South Korea, including U.S. military bases there.
