North Korea fires ballistic missile ahead of US-South Korea drills

SEOUL: North Korea fired a short-range ballistic missile Thursday (Mar 9), Seoul’s military said, Pyongyang’s latest show of force just days before South Korea and the United States kick off major joint military exercises.

Relations between the two Koreas are at one of their worst points in decades, with the nuclear-armed North conducting ever more provocative banned weapons tests as Seoul moved to ramp up security cooperation with Washington in response.

Last year, Kim Jong-Un’s regime declared North Korea an “irreversible” nuclear power and vowed to exponentially increase weapons production, including tactical nuclear weapons, as the US looks to move more assets to the region to defend ally Seoul.

Seoul’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said that it “detected the launch of one short-range ballistic missile from the North’s western port city of Nampo at 6:20 pm (5.20pm, Singapore Time)”.

“Our military maintains a full readiness posture while closely cooperating with the US as we have strengthened surveillance and vigilance,” it added.

North Korea has long claimed its nuclear weapons and missile programmes are for self-defence and has bristled over US-South Korea military exercises, describing them as rehearsals for an invasion.

Earlier this week, North Korea accused the US of “intentionally” ramping up tensions, and Kim’s powerful sister warned that if the US were to intercept one of Pyongyang’s missile tests, it would be seen as a “clear declaration of war”.
