North Korea’s announcement: “We have tested a new long-range missile”

by admin

The North Korea has made it known that it has “successfully” tested a new one long-range missile. This was announced by the official news agency KCNA, which explains how the missiles flew for 1,500 kilometers, before hitting their targets and falling into the country’s territorial waters.

The launches, carried out on Saturday and Sunday, took place in the presence of senior North Korean officials, the agency said again. The development of missiles, explains the KCNA, provides “the strategic significance of owning another means of deterrence effective to guarantee the security of our state more reliably and strongly contain the maneuvers of hostile forces “. A clear reference to the United States and to South Korea.

The tests were done immediately after the night parade which, on 9 September last, celebrated the 73rd anniversary of the nation’s founding. The event, the first since Joe Biden’s inauguration in the White House, appeared on a smaller scale and aimed primarily at the domestic audience: it did not appear to send messages or threats to the United States or South Korea, and Pyongyang had not shown any ballistic missiles. or new strategic weapons.

Talks aimed at dismantling the North’s nuclear and ballistic programs in exchange for relief from US sanctions are stalled from 2019.
