Regarding the two short-range ballistic missiles launched by North Korea on the night of the 29th, South Korea has pointed out the possibility of ballistic missiles that North Korea calls "super-large rocket launchers".
Behind the launches for the second consecutive day, there seems to be a strong backlash against the harsh criticism of North Korea by US Vice President Harris, who visited South Korea on the 29th.
South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff announced that North Korea launched two short-range ballistic missiles into the Sea of Japan on the night of the 29th from near Suncheon, South Pyongan Province in the western part of the country.
The flight distance was about 350 km, the altitude was about 50 km, and it flew at Mach 5, which is five times the speed of sound.
In the vicinity of Suncheon, two short-range ballistic missiles called "super-large rocket launchers" were launched in 2019 by North Korea. I am told it is possible.
This month, North Korea launched one short-range ballistic missile on the 25th and two on the 28th. I'm here.
Under these circumstances, US Vice President Harris, who visited South Korea on the 29th, inspected the demilitarized zone separating the north and south, and said, "North Korea has a brutal dictatorship, human rights violations, and an illegal weapons development program." It severely condemns North Korea, and it seems that there is a strong opposition from North Korea behind the launches for two consecutive days.
In the Sea of Japan, Japan, the United States and South Korea are scheduled to hold joint exercises on the 30th, and there is continued vigilance against further provocations by North Korea.
