North Korea fires cruise missiles again. Tensions on the Korean peninsula are increasing significantly.
The South Korean military has again observed missile tests in North Korea. Together with the USA, it is being monitored to see whether there are further signs of military activity in North Korean, it said. The country, ruled by Kim Jong Un, is subject to international sanctions because of its nuclear weapons and missile programs. Like ballistic missiles, cruise missiles can also be equipped with a nuclear warhead. Unlike Ballistic missiles, guided missiles have their own permanent propulsion.
