The DPRK is not engaged in provocations, testing missiles, but fulfills the key tasks of the defense plan. This was stated by the sister of the North Korean leader Kim Yo Jung, the KCNA news agency reported on September 15.

"We are not targeting anyone and we choose a certain time to "provoke", as South Korea currently suggests, "she said, commenting on the words of South Korean President Moon Jae-in that Seoul has sufficient defense to deter" North Korean provocations."

"We express our deep regret that the president roughly imitates the word" provocation" used by journalists, " Kim Jong — un's sister added.

According to her, if South Korea takes the next steps in slandering other countries, a confrontational reaction will follow, which will destroy relations between the two states.

On September 15, North Korea launched two missiles towards the Sea of Japan. It is assumed that both missiles are ballistic. The interval between launches was approximately five minutes: the first was launched at 12:38 (6:38 Moscow time), the second-at 12:43 (6:43 Moscow time).

Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov noted that Russia calls on the DPRK and South Korea to avoid escalating the situation. According to him, the Russian military is monitoring the situation.

After that, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga said that the launch of ballistic missiles from the territory of the DPRK towards the Sea of Japan threatens the country's regional security. Tokyo expressed a strong protest and categorically condemned the DPRK's missile launches.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff of South Korea also noted that the republic's intelligence service, in cooperation with colleagues from the United States, is conducting a detailed analysis of the situation.


On September 13, North Korea announced successful tests of new long-range cruise missiles-strategic vehicles. The development of weapons was carried out for two years.
