Increased missile testing by North Korea
It has been some time since North Korea has fired off, any missiles or done any missile testing. It seems that Pyongyang is planning to launch several more, in the foreseeable future.
Last March 9, an estimate of three missiles were launched by North Korea, the area was in the Sondok and was located off the east coast. This area of water is in the middle of the Korean Peninsula and Japan.
Later the South Korean Defense Ministry added that at the duration of the launches, they might have been joint strike drills with multiple rocket launcher and missile systems, primarily for the winter drills of Pyongyang.
After March 9, the next firing drill was held on March 21, about 11 days later and they were fire into the same place, but the launch was in the northern Pyongan region.
Kim Jong Un has warned the US in 2019, there was a deadline when to jumpstart talks once again, several of them ended in disagreement, and the denuclearization talks are now on hold. It will start when the US is ready to begin negotiations once again.
Washington never signified any gesture to restart talks when the deadline came.
As a response to the White House and its failure to restart talks. Pyongyang took a hard stance on the unmet deadline, Kim then declared that North Korea will step up its nuclear deterrent option.
He added that the 'self-imposed moratorium on weapons testing' shall resume, and North Korea will retain its defensive stance.
The North Korean leader has promised to reveal a new strategic weapon soon.
Analysts have stated that most of the missile fired by North Korea were mostly small, and short-range weapons. One example is the KN-24, that was a fire last March 21 as the last launch.
All these launches were for unity and demonstrate that Kim Jung un is still in power, despite the US sanctions and the global pandemic
Some experts say the latest launches were likely designed to shore up unity and show that leader Kim Jong Un is in control in the face of US-led sanctions and the global pandemic. These Korean Missiles launches aims to show the US and the world, that North Korea is still standing strong.
