North Korea launched several cruise missiles on Wednesday, according to the South Korean military, which is currently conducting long-range joint exercises with the United States.
North Korea considers these maneuvers as a threat and a possibility of an invasion of its territory. PYongyang warned on several occasions that he would respond to the exercises in a “massive” manner.
The new launches come about a week after North Korea confirmed it had launched a Hwasong-17 missile into the Sea of Japan. It was the second test of its intercontinental ballistic (ICBM) in 2023.
