According to Pyongyang it involved two different raketty types, fired under the eye of Kim and his top general. The timing is striking: the new South Korean President Lee Jae-Myung recently tried to improve the relationship with the North, but Kim resolutely rejected that guide. Instead, North Korea promises to expand its nuclear arsenal. According to Staatsmedia, the rockets have ‘superior combat capacity’.
Moreover, the Rakettest comes in the middle of the annual military exercises of South Korea and the United States, which Pyongyang invariably labels as ‘hostile’. In addition, the Seoul regime previously accused a “dangerous provocation” on Saturday after an incident earlier this week, in which South Korean soldiers wosted warning shots to North Korean soldiers.
