North Korea deploys hundreds of new missile launchers at border with South Korea

ai generated text

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has overseen the delivery of 250 new tactical ballistic missile launchers, which are designed to overwhelm missile defenses in South Korea. The launchers are reportedly mobile and can deliver nuclear strikes on South Korea and US bases in the country. This development has been confirmed by multiple sources, including KCNA, which quoted Kim as saying that the launchers have been deployed.

    Joint Chiefs of Staff
    1. Assuming all 250 launchers are functional it's unclear if North Korea has produced the corresponding capacity of 1,000 missiles (and beyond).
    2. We believe [the missile launchers] are intended to be used in various ways, such as to attack or threaten South Korea… Deploying near the border would mean that the range is not long.
  2. KP
    Kim Jong-Un
    1. The rapidly changing global security environment and the indiscriminate expansion of US-led military blocs lead us to the conclusion that we need to more thoroughly and fully have our national nuclear capabilities and nuclear posture ready.
    2. Dialogue or confrontation can be our choice, but what we must be more thoroughly prepared for is confrontation.
