North Korea on Monday fired several ballistic missiles, which began exercising a few hours after condemning South Korean and American militants, to say that Pyongyang called Pyongyang a “dangerous stimulating act”, which accidentally promoted conflict.
The South Korean army said the missiles were expelled from the western region of North Korea towards the yellow ocean. The launch was the first reported ballistic missile test since US President Donald Trump took over in January.
A South Korean Defense Ministry official said that missiles were considered a closure-range ballistic missile, which mentioned a type of weapon with a range of 300 kilometers.
In a statement, the US Army condemned the launch of missile and called North Korea “to avoid further illegal and unstable acts”. The Indo-Pacific command stated that it would monitor the situation, which was said that it was not an immediate threat to the US or its allies.
The annual Freedom Shield drills of the Allies are scheduled for running till March 20, although last week a civilian near the border accidentally suspended live-fires after a bomb was demolished at the city, 29 injured.
North Korea typically demanded that the joint exercises of American-south Korea be stopped, a proposal for an attack. The South Korean Army has stated that the purpose of joint exercise is to strengthen the readiness of the coalition to face threats like North Korea.
North Korea’s Foreign Ministry said, “This is a dangerous stimulating task of leading the acute position on the Korean peninsula, which can make a physical conflict at a peak through a casual single shot between the two sides,” North Korea’s Foreign Ministry said, “According to the state media outlet KCNA. The ministry said that practice would cause damage to American security.
South Korean Air Force head Li Young-Suk on Monday apologized to the “unprecedented” accident on Monday, with two jets accidentally bombing a South Korean village. “It was an accident that should never have happened, and it should never happen again,” Lee told reporters.
The South Korean military officer, citing interim results of the army investigation, said that a pilot was pressed for time in a jet and did not see the target coordinates again, while another pilot in the other jet chased the bombs and dropped the bombs.
The area affected by accidental bombing in Pochane, which is about 40 kilometers north of Seoul, was outside a training area near the border with North Korea. Residents of the region have complained about disturbances and risks from long practice.
