North Korea fires cruise missiles into the sea: North Korea fired several cruise missiles towards the sea to the west of the Korean Peninsula, the South Korean military said on Saturday.
This would be North Korea's latest missile launch since it fired two ballistic missiles on Wednesday, as Pyongyang and Washington step up displays of military force in a standoff over the isolated country's nuclear weapons and missile programmes.
A number of cruise missiles launched since about 4am. Saturday local time were detected, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said. On Wednesday, North Korea fired missiles hours after a US nuclear-armed ballistic missile submarine surfaced for a rare visit to South Korea. North Korea also warned on Thursday that deployment of US aircraft carriers, bombers or missile submarines in South Korea could meet criteria for its use of nuclear weapons.The USS Kentucky ballistic missile submarine in Busan, South Korea, on Wednesday, July 19, 2023.The USS Kentucky ballistic missile submarine in Busan, South Korea, on Wednesday, July 19, 2023.The USS Kentucky ballistic missile submarine in Busan, South Korea, on Wednesday, July 19, 2023.
