THE North Korea warned on Saturday (15) – considering the local time zone – that “crushing military countermeasures” will be needed against what he called deliberate provocations by South Korea, as tensions remain high after North Korea’s ballistic missile launches in the country. last weeks.
The warning from an unnamed North Korean People’s Army (KPA) spokesman came a day after firing a short-range ballistic missile into the sea and hundreds of artillery rounds near the southern border.
KPA frontline units carried out artillery fire on Friday to send a clear warning of “repeated provocations by the enemies in the front areas,” the spokesman said in a statement carried by the North’s official KCNA news agency.
“In the future, too, our army will never allow any provocation on the part of enemies that increases military tension on the Korean peninsula, but will take complete and overwhelming military countermeasures,” he said.
North Korea also flew warplanes near the military border with the South on Friday, prompting the South to send fighter jets.
South Korea said on Friday that its artillery fire was a “regular and legitimate” exercise.
