North Korean leader Kim Jong Un supervised a test-launch of strategic cruise missiles and ordered full readiness to use nuclear attack capability, according to state media reports. The test was meant to warn enemies violating the country’s security environment and demonstrate readiness for various nuclear operations. Kim emphasized the importance of defending national sovereignty with a reliable nuclear shield and thorough battle readiness of nuclear forces.
The missile launch took place over the sea off the west coast of the Korean peninsula, with South Korea’s military detecting signs of preparations and tracking the missiles. North Korea has been developing strategic cruise missiles for several years to deliver nuclear warheads. These missiles are less alarming to the international community than ballistic missiles since they are not banned under U.N. Security Council resolutions, which have prohibited North Korea from ballistic missile and nuclear weapons development.
Kim’s visits to military schools this week emphasized loyalty and the importance of training young military officers. While he did not explicitly name any country, his harsh rhetoric against the United States and South Korea has continued despite previous summit meetings with President Donald Trump. The reports of missile tests come in the midst of ongoing tensions on the Korean peninsula, with North Korea seeking to assert its defensive capabilities and deterrence against potential threats.
