North Korea continues weapon tests

Seoul - North Korea has again carried out weapon tests and shot down several marching missiles into the sea, as the South Korean military said. The rockets went down in the sea between China and the Korean Peninsula. However, the military could not say how many rockets were fired and how far they flew. South Korea and the USA also observe "signs of further activities".

experts are concerned that North Korea could intend to equip the marching missiles with nuclear weapons. These could be used primarily for attacks on ships and ports and are difficult to see from the radar. North Korea has tested newly developed marching aircraft in recent years.

The relationships between North and South Korea are currently very tense. North Korea's ruler Kim Jong Un aims to expand weapons development, including tactical nuclear weapons. In addition, North Korea has increasingly carried out weapon tests in recent months and thus demonstrated its ability to nuclear attacks. The international community, including the USA, the EU and partner countries, asked China to prevent North Korea from avoiding the UN sanctions. A strong message to North Korea is called for the country to avoid provocations and commit to complete atomic disarmament on the Korean Peninsula.
