SEOUL - North Korea fired missiles into the sea off its east coast for the fourth time in less than two weeks, the South Korean military said on Tuesday, as Pyongyang protested that joint U.S.-South Korea military drills violated diplomatic agreements.
Trump has played down the tests by saying they did not break any agreement he had with Kim but the talks have yet to resume. Analysts believe the tests are designed both to improve North Korean military capabilities and to pressure Washington to offer more concessions. Kim Dong-yub, a military expert at South Korea’s Kyungnam University, said the latest launch area was significant because the flight path of 450 km meant that all of South Korea was in range of such missiles.
North Korea has repeatedly complained that the United States and South Korea’s joint military drills violate a pledge made by Trump to Kim. The arrival of new, U.S.-made F-35A stealth fighters in South Korea, the visit of a U.S. nuclear-powered submarine to a South Korean port, and U.S. tests of ballistic missiles are among the steps that have forced North Korea to continue its own weapons development, the spokesman said.
A JCS spokesman told a regular news briefing on Monday the allies were preparing for a joint exercise in the second half of the year but would not confirm the name of the drill or whether it had already started.
You go rocket man.
Trump is a real ass hole,he's watching North Korea testing it's missiles but keeps quiet and continues to impose saunctions on Iran that has not even tested any.
Wait! Wait! I had thought Trump was taking care of this.
.China's protrusion as I said. the hands it can cut off if necessary. the real face in the mirror's reflection without all the make up.
Well I guess donnie should be getting a beautiful letter outlining Kim's beautiful vision for the world anytime now. Thankfully the world is in the hands of such stable geniuses.
North Korea has nothing to worry about since Trump has their back...
Perhaps one strong surgical effective strike with minimal casualties can best solve the present situation of NCorea's arrogant play with the fire, and so prevent war.
Sounds a lot like the old road
Kim’s got Trump by the short hairs.
Sounds like they want to have no roads at all and get bombed into oblivion! Absurd
How I wish if North Korea bombs Trump's ass......😉
