North Korea confirms two rocket launches

North Korea announced today that it had launched two regular guided missiles to verify the accuracy of the weapon system.

The launch on Monday – South Korea spoke of two short-range ballistic missiles – was Pyongyang’s fourth weapons test since the beginning of the year. The country’s leader Kim Jong Un had previously announced that it would seek to strengthen its military capabilities, despite the suffocating international sanctions, defying US offers to resume dialogue.

Pyongyang has already tested various types of weapons this year, including missiles that it said were supersonic.

Successive launches occur at very fine times in the area. North Korea’s only internationally renowned ally, China, is preparing to host the Winter Olympics; South Korea will hold presidential elections in March.

According to the official North Korean news agency KCNA, “the two regular guided missiles fired from the western part of the country” accurately hit an target island in the East Korean Sea “, also known as the Sea of ​​Japan.

“The Academy of Defense Sciences has confirmed the accuracy, safety and efficiency of the weapon system produced,” the KCNA added.

The launches were first announced yesterday by the General Staff of the National Defense of South Korea and the authorities of Japan.

The United States has demanded that Pyongyang stop its “illegal and destabilizing activities.”

At the same time, the US special envoy for North Korea’s armaments program, Sang Kim, once again called on North Korea on Monday, along with his Japanese and South Korean counterparts, to respond to Washington’s offer to ” dialogue “,” without preconditions “, which has been repeatedly addressed by the government of President Joe Biden, according to a State Department press release.
