North Korea has fired a pair of short-range ballistic missiles off its east coast, two days after the North resumed testing activities with an intercontinental ballistic missile launch
South Korea Koreas Tensions
According to Japanese and South Korean assessments, the North Korean missiles flew at a maximum altitude of 50-100 kilometers and a distance of 340-400 kilometers . The North said the launches involved its new 600 millimeter multiple rocket launcher system that could be armed with “tactical” nuclear weapons for battlefield use. Some experts viewed the weapons system as a short-range ballistic missile.
North Korea is extremely sensitive to the deployment of B-1B bombers, which can carry a huge payload of conventional weapons.
