Seoul: North Korea test-fired 2 ballistic missiles capable of reaching Japan. These are capable of carrying nuclear weapons. It is reported that they traveled 500 km from Tongchangri region in the northwest of the country and landed in the sea between South Korea and Japan. The test of the new missile comes days after North Korea claimed to have developed missiles capable of reaching the US.

The missile test is rumored to be in response to Japan’s unveiling of a new national security strategy against North Korea and China on Friday. South Korea’s emergency military meeting condemned the missile test. In the new situation, South Korea has announced that it will increase trilateral security cooperation with the US and Japan.

Japan’s Deputy Defense Minister criticized North Korea as a threat to the security of Japan and the region. Meanwhile, North Korea defended the weapons test as a self-defense measure to counter US-South Korea military exercises.
