South Korea’s military says the North may have launched multiple missiles simultaneously from the same area
Seoul — North Korea’s Kim Jong-un ordered the military to intensify drills to deter and respond to a “real war” if necessary, state media said on Friday, after the leader oversaw a fire assault drill that it said proved the country's capabilities.
Photos released by the North’s KCNA news agency showed at least six missiles being fired at the same time. "[Kim] stressed that the fire assault subunits should be strictly prepared for the greatest perfection in carrying out the two strategic missions, that is, first to deter war and second to take the initiative in war, by steadily intensifying various simulated drills for real war,” KCNA said.The latest missile launches came as the US and South Korea were set to kick off large-scale military exercises known as the Freedom Shield drills next week.
