According to Yonhap News Agency, South Korea lost a missile track in retaliation to North Korea’s Wednesday launch of two missiles over the Yellow Sea.
North Korea earlier declared that it conducted a test aimed at “enhancing nuclear capabilities” by launching a “strategic” cruise missile over the Yellow Sea.
According to the official Central News Agency in Pyongyang, which was cited by the South Korean Yonhap News Agency, the two missiles were definitely directed at their objective at a distance of 2,000 kilometres.
According to the North Korean News Agency, the launch operations were conducted to boost “combat effectiveness and the capability of missiles dispersed in the Korean SPLM units to operate tactical nuclear weapons and reaffirm the reliability of the comprehensive operational application system.”
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un expressed his satisfaction with “the high reaction capabilities of our nuclear fighter forces, which once again proved their full willingness to a real war to put enemies under their control. ”
He emphasised that this is “yet another obvious message to the enemies” due to this experience.
In reaction to two missiles fired by its northern neighbour, South Korea is assessing a rocket track.
