North Korea fired two ballistic missiles into the East Sea on the 1st of the Armed Forces Day.



This is the fourth ballistic missile launch in the last week, and it is analyzed as an armed demonstration against the South Korea, US and Japan anti-submarine warfare exercises in the East Sea the day before.



The Joint Chiefs of Staff said that it had detected two short-range ballistic missiles fired from the Sunan area in Pyongyang, North Korea, into the East Sea from 6:45 am to 7:03 am on the same day.



The military explained that while strengthening surveillance and vigilance, South Korea and the U.S. are closely cooperating and maintaining a full readiness posture, including additional provocations.



Military authorities are analyzing specifications such as range, altitude, and speed.



Today is our Armed Forces Day, and a large-scale ceremony is scheduled at Gyeryongdae in Chungcheongnam-do.



As it is a place to show off cutting-edge power such as a South Korean 3-axis system that responds to North Korean nuclear and missile threats, it may be that North Korea is targeting it and provoking it.



It is analyzed that there is also a character of resistance to the acceleration of military cooperation between South Korea, the US and Japan to counter North Korea's advanced nuclear and missile capabilities.



From the early morning of the previous day to the evening of the previous day, South Korea, the United States and Japan conducted a joint anti-submarine exercise assuming a situation of tracking and detecting a North Korean submarine equipped with a submarine-launched ballistic missile in the high seas of the East Sea east of Dokdo.



It is also presumed that Vice President Kamala Harris criticized North Korea's ballistic missile launch program at the DMZ on the 29th of last month.



North Korea has been provoking every day since the US nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan arrived in Busan at the end of last month.



On the 25th of last month, one SRBM was fired from Taecheon, North Pyongan Province, two SRBMs from the Sunan area of ​​Pyongyang on the 28th, and two SRBMs from the Suncheon area of ​​South Pyongan Province on the 29th into the East Sea, respectively.



North Korea has launched 20 ballistic missiles and two cruise missiles this year.



It is the eighth missile launch since the inauguration of the Yun Seok-yeol government.
