missiles like these will start the war north korea tests showcase growing capability
In a preliminary report on
Wednesday, the North Korea tracking website 38 North said the new missile looks
similar to Russia’s SS-26 Iskander missile, and could exploit gaps in South
Korean and American missile defence coverage. In a row North Korea’s second
missile test on Thursday signals it is serious about developing new,
short-range weapons that could be used early and effectively in any war with
South Korea and the United States, analysts studying images of the latest
launches say. The U.S. and South Korean militaries evaluated the two
projectiles North Korea flew Thursday as short-range missiles, a South Korean
military official said Friday, a day after the North's second launch in five
days raised jitters about an unravelling detente between the Koreas and the
future of nuclear negotiations between Washington and Pyongyang. Photos
released by state media on Friday showed Thursday’s test involved the same
weapon. The tests have increased tensions after the last U.S.-North Korea
summit collapsed in February in Hanoi with no agreement over Pyongyang’s
nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programme. Photos released by state media
on Friday showed Thursday’s test involved the same weapon. South Korean
President Moon Jae-in said late on Thursday the launches seemed like a protest
over the failed summit, while North Korea has defended the tests as routine and
self defensive. Some analysts say the multiple tests show the missiles aren’t
only for political show.
