North Korea says it has tested two missiles from a train.
VOK, Korea’s state news agency, reports that the North has tested ballistic missiles from trains in retaliation for new sanctions imposed by US President Joe Biden’s administration.
The report comes after the South Korean military said it had detected North Korea testing two missiles at sea earlier this month.
Pyongyang’s Foreign Ministry has issued a statement condemning the United States for imposing new sanctions on North Korea’s previous tests.
Subsequently, the United States conducted a missile test to warn that strong and transparent action would be taken if it continued its position.
The Rodong Sinmun newspaper published photos of two different missiles flying above the train compartments engulfed in smoke.
In recent months, in the midst of epidemic-related border closures and a freeze on nuclear diplomacy with the United States, North Korea has been increasingly testing new missiles designed to thwart missile defenses in the region.
