South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said it detected two ballistic missiles that had been fired from the Tongchang-ri area in North Pyongan province. Sunday's launch came days after North Korea tested a"high-thrust solid-fuel motor," with state media describing it as an important test"for the development of another new-type strategic weapon system."
Kim said this year that he wants North Korea to have the world's most powerful nuclear force, and declared his country an"irreversible" nuclear state. The isolated country's policy direction for next year will be laid out at a key party meeting later this month, and the official Korean Central News Agency earlier reported Kim saying that 2023 would be a"historic year."
