South Korea: North Korea is getting bolder
South Korean Foreign Minister Pak Chin said the Russian invasion of Ukraine has made North Korea more brazen. In a statement Friday, North Korea's foreign ministry warned of an "unprecedented and ongoing strong response" from Pyongyang if joint US-South Korean military exercises continue. During these years, Pyongyang repeatedly warned Seoul against adherence to the interventionist and tension-producing US policies and stated: "Their provocative actions, including joint exercises, are the cause of destabilization, increased militarism and an arms race on the Korean Peninsula."
According to CNN, South Korean Foreign Minister Park Chin said Saturday on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference: "Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the world's attention to war in Europe have made the Kim Jong-un regime in North Korea brazener, and this brazenness is demonstrated by the launch of offensive missiles Display , including intercontinental ballistic missiles. Pointing out that North Korea had resumed ballistic missile testing after a nearly 50-day hiatus, the South Korean diplomat said the move clearly indicated Pyongyang's intent to carry out provocations
The United States confirmed North Korea's missile tests on Saturday and said, "These actions are in clear violation of many UN Security Council resolutions." At last week's night parade, North Korea unveiled several new intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of hitting anywhere in the world. Experts believe that these missiles can become a prototype of solid-propellant intercontinental ballistic missiles.
