North Korea Fires Two Short-Range Ballistic Missiles Towards Eastern Waters

North Korea Fires Two Short-Range Ballistic Missiles Towards Eastern Waters

Flags of North Korea, rear, and South Korea, front, flutter in the wind as pictured from the border area between two Koreas in Paju, South Korea, on Aug. 9, 2021.

On Friday, December 23, 2022, North Korea fired two short-range ballistic missiles toward its eastern waters.

This latest weapons display comes days after U.S. and South Korean warplanes conducted joint drills that North Korea views as an invasion rehearsal.

North Korea has conducted an unprecedented number of missile tests this year in what some experts call an attempt to bolster its weapons capability and pressure its rivals to make concessions such as sanctions relief in future negotiations.

Recently, the North also claimed to have performed major tests needed to acquire its first spy satellite and a more mobile intercontinental ballistic missile capable of reaching the U.S. mainland.

South Korea’s military detected the two missile launches from North Korea’s capital region at around 4:32 p.m. on Friday, December 23, 2022. Japan said it also confirmed at least one missile launch by North Korea.

It was not immediately clear exactly what kinds of missiles North Korea fired. South Korea’s military said the missiles traveled about 250 kilometers (155 miles) and 350 kilometers (220 miles) respectively before landing in the waters between the Korean Peninsula and Japan.

Japanese Vice Defense Minister, Toshiro Ino, noted that one missile detected by Japan flew as far as 300 kilometers (180 miles) at a maximum altitude of 50 kilometers (30 miles).

Ino disclosed that the missile might have showed an “irregular” trajectory, a possible reference to North Korea’s highly maneuverable, nuclear-capable KN-23 missile, which was modeled on Russia’s Iskander missile.

“Grave Provocation” That Hurts International Peace

South Korea’s military called the launches “a grave provocation” that hurts international peace. It said South Korea will uphold a firm readiness and closely observe North Korean moves in coordination with the United States.

Vice Defense Minister, Toshiro Ino also accused North Korea of significantly raising tensions with repeated weapons tests.

The launches could be a response to the U.S.-South Korean aerial military exercises near the Korean Peninsula on Tuesday, December 20, 2022.

The latest U.S.-South Korean drills drew B-52 nuclear-capable bombers and F-22 stealth fighter jets from the United States and other advanced warplanes from South Korea.

According to South Korea’s Defense Ministry, the training was part of a bilateral agreement on boosting a U.S. commitment to defend its Asian ally with all available military capabilities, including nuclear weapons.

The F-22 jets were supposed to stay in South Korea for more joint drills this week with the South Korean air force, but the U.S. aircrafts eventually returned to their base in Japan due to weather conditions, South Korean defense officials said.
