“React quickly to any nuclear crisis.” North Korean leader Kim Jong a supervised exercises that simulate nuclear counterattacks against Seoul and Washington, state media said on Friday, May 9, a day after missile tests.
The South Korean army estimated that Thursday’s evidence, which involved “different types” of short -range ballistic missiles, could be linked to North Korean weapons exports to Russia.
“Quickly react to any nuclear crisis”
The exercises involved a rocket system and a tactical ballistic missile, according to the North Korean news agency, KCNA. According to KCNA, detailed training was carried out on “rapid procedures and processes passing into the nuclear counterattack position.”
“The objective of the exercise has been achieved and the reliability of the command and mobilization system capable of quickly reacting to any nuclear crisis,” added the official agency.
Destroyer’s forms and missile
The sanctions imposed by the United Nations against Pyongyang for its nuclear program prohibit him from having ballistic missiles, which perform most of his career outside the atmosphere of the earth. At the beginning of the week, the North Korean leader inspected the manufacture of shells in the ammunition factories, the state media claim that the production of shells in the country had increased spectacular in recent months.
Pyongyang also recently opened a 5,000-ton missile destroyer, called Choe Hyon that, according to analysts, could transport Mer-Sol and Mer-Air missiles.
The South Korean army believes that the destroyer could have developed with the help of Russia, with whom North Korea has approached in recent years, sending thousands of soldiers to help Russian troops to reconquer the Koursk region, partially taken by Ukraine.
The two countries signed a mutual defense agreement on the occasion of a rare visit by Russian President Vladimir Putin in North Korea last year. Pyongyang and Moscow also recently announced that they had begun to build the first road bridge that connects the two neighbors.
