BREAKING: Seoul says 12 Pyongyang warplanes have flown near their border, prompting it to launch warplanes in response as heightened tensions on the Korean Peninsula continue to ratchet up.
The latest missiles were launched 22 minutes apart from the North’s capital region and landed between the Korean Peninsula and Japan, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement. The first missile flew 350 kilometers and reached a maximum altitude of 80 kilometers and the second flew 800 kilometers on an apogee of 60 kilometers .
The U.S. destroyer is part of the strike group led by the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan, which returned to the waters in what South Korea’s military called an attempt to demonstrate the allies’ “firm will” to counter North’s continued provocations and threats. The two leaders also decided to cooperate to sternly deal with North Korean provocations, according to Yoon’s office. Kishida earlier said the North’s continued launches were “absolutely intolerable.”
On Tuesday, North Korea staged its most provocative weapons demonstration since 2017, firing an intermediate-range missile over Japan, forcing the Japanese government to issue evacuation alerts and halt trains. After the North’s intermediate-range missile launch, the United States and South Korea also carried out their own live-fire drills that have so far involved land-to-land ballistic missiles and precision-guided bombs dropped from fighter jets.malfunctioning South Korean Hyumoo-2 missile flipped
