North Korean leader Kim Jong Un oversaw a test-launch of strategic cruise missiles and ordered full readiness to use nuclear attack capability to ensure the country’s defense, according to state media. The test was meant to warn enemies violating the country’s security and demonstrate readiness for various nuclear operations. Kim emphasized the importance of the DPRK’s nuclear forces in defending national sovereignty and security. The missile launch took place over the sea off the west coast of the Korean peninsula.
South Korea’s military detected missile launch preparations and tracked several cruise missiles launched by North Korea. Strategic cruise missiles have been developed by North Korea to deliver nuclear warheads and tend to receive less condemnation compared to ballistic missiles. The United Nations Security Council has banned North Korea from developing ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons and imposed sanctions for violations.
Kim’s visit to military schools emphasized loyalty and the importance of training young military officers. Despite not mentioning any specific country, Kim has continued to use harsh rhetoric against the United States and South Korea. This missile test occurred in the same week that Kim visited military schools. Trump and Kim held summit meetings during Trump’s first term, but tensions remain high between the two countries.
