North Korea has fired two ballistic missiles, South Korea's military said, days after North Korea announced a successful test of a solid-fuel motor for a new weapons system.
The missiles were fired from 11:13am to 12:05pm into the East Sea, referring to the body of water also known as the Sea of Japan, it said. "It threatens the peace and security of our country, this region, and the international community, and it is absolutely unacceptable," said senior vice defence minister Toshiro Ino.
All its known ICBMs are liquid-fuelled, however, and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has placed strategic priority on developing solid-fuel engines for more advanced missiles. The latest motor test was a step towards that goal, but it is not clear how far North Korea has come in the development of such a missile, analysts said.After overseeing the launch of the Hwasong-17"monster" missile last month, Mr Kim declared he wanted North Korea to have the world's most powerful nuclear force.
In his most recent address, which was released last New Year's Day, Mr Kim focused on domestic affairs.
Yeah and vaccines are 100% efficacious in stopping transmission.... eh or not
One of these days it's going to go wrong and NK will be bombed
It's not Japan. It's an American nuclear base.
