North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong Un, oversaw successful missile tests, including a “super-large conventional warhead” and one for a possible nuclear warhead, amid escalating tensions with the US. The tests on Wednesday were confirmed by neighbouring countries and showcased North Korea’s military capabilities.
The tests involved a newly built ballistic missile, Hwasongpho-11-Da-4.5, with a “super-large conventional warhead” aimed at South Korea. North Korea also launched an improved cruise missile indicating nuclear capabilities.
Kim emphasized the need to strengthen North Korea’s nuclear force and offensive capabilities. The country aims to deter invasion threats by showcasing its military power.
North Korea aims to display confidence in its missiles’ accuracy but lacks deep penetrating capabilities. The recent tests follow a previous successful launch in early July.
Amidst escalating tensions, North Korea’s provocative actions, including dumping trash-filled balloons on South Korea, raise concerns about future negotiations with the US and regional security.
