Pyongyang, Despite US threats, North Korea has launched eight ballistic missiles from its east coast into the sea. The news agency AFP has confirmed this. The horrific launch comes a day after a top US envoy left Seoul for South Korea. South Korea’s Giant Chief of Staff said the missile was launched in the Sunan area of the North Korean capital, Pyongyang.
Japan’s Kyodo news agency quoted a government source as saying that North Korea had launched several missiles. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has tested other missiles, including his largest intercontinental ballistic missile.
US Special Envoy Sung Kim met with his South Korean and Japanese counterparts in Seoul on Friday.
For all contingency preparations, North Korea is preparing to conduct a nuclear test for the first time since 2016. The Japanese government has said North Korea launched a suspected ballistic missile. The United States has told Pyongyang directly that it is ready for diplomacy. The United States has called for more UN sanctions on North Korea over its ballistic missile launch, but China and Russia have vetoed it.
The United Nations Security Council began imposing sanctions on Korea for the first time since its partition in 2003, when North Korea conducted its first nuclear test. Despite opposition from many countries, Kim Jong Un continues to test missiles. Including ballistic missiles. The last test was conducted in Korea on May 9, when Jay Biden launched three missiles after completing his tour of Asia. Ss1kp
