Last week, in response to North Korea's mid-range ballistic missile launch, the South Korean military's Hyunmoo missile fell into the base.

The military said that the Atacms counter-fire launched immediately after that was successful, but it was later confirmed that this was not the case.



Reporter Bae Jun-woo reports.

At the dawn of the 5th, South Korea and the US launched two tactical ballistic missiles, Atacms, each capable of devastating three or four soccer fields depending on the type of warhead.



It was only 1 hour and 50 minutes after the Hyeonmoo 2C ​​camel accident, and it was a strong response to North Korea's provocations.



Our military also distributed a press release stating that "a virtual target was precisely struck".



However, one of the two shots fired by the South Korean military was not a precision strike.



It was not confirmed that the target was hit because the tracking equipment did not work during the flight.



[Kim Jun-rak/Director of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Public Affairs Office: The ROK and the US fired 4 Atacms normally into the East Sea.

However, one of them was lost from the tracking equipment.]



Our military is of the nature of counter-shooting, so it is not important whether the target is hit or not, but critics are being criticized for inflating the results.



The military's inappropriate response to the Hyunmoo 2C ​​camel accident is also being criticized every day.



The accident was delayed in 10 and a half hours, and the surrounding residents had to fall in anxiety overnight, but yesterday (12th) the National Assembly on-site inspection revealed that, unlike the military announcement that the place where the propellant fell and burned down, it was found to be in the middle of an oil tank. .



[Kim Byung-joo / Democratic Party member: Electric wires in front of a large oil tank kept sparking underground.

Until then, safety measures were not properly implemented, but it is said that I did not visit (the field).]



The military's urgent response to hiding is also fostering distrust in our military's missile strike capability.
