The Korean peninsula continues to be one of the most tense points in the world. The situation has become particularly acute here recently due to the frequent launches of North Korean missiles and the response of Washington, Seoul and Tokyo.
According to DPRK radio, the North Korean military has launched another cruise missile. It is indicated that two "strategic cruise missiles" were launched from a submarine.
According to the South Korean press, a rocket launch of an unknown type was also recorded at the weekend from the area of the port city of Sinpo, on the coast of the Sea of Japan. At the same time, Yonhap refers to the Joint Chiefs of Staff of South Korea.
The publication notes that in this way Pyongyang decided to demonstrate its protest against the joint military exercises of Washington and Seoul beginning on Monday called Freedom Shield.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Republic of Korea stated that the country's troops are constantly monitoring North Korean missile launches and are in close cooperation with colleagues from the United States, Yonhap writes.
Recall that the Korean peninsula has been divided into North and South Korea since the Korean War of 1950-1953. In the West, they say that such a scenario can also be expected for the current territory of Ukraine.
