Yonhap Counselor stated that the ROK Army detected that North Korea launched a total of more than 130 missiles into the eastern and western waters from around 2:59 p.m. Fire shells.
According to the preliminary research and judgment of the Korean army, the North Korean army suspected of using rocket launchers to shoot shells, and the shells fell in the maritime buffer zone north of the "Northern Limit Line" (NLL).
The Hanlian Counselor pointed out that the South Korean army is closely cooperating with the United States to pay attention to the North Korean movement and maintain a high level of alert.
Yonhap News Agency stated that North Korea’s shelling that day may be to counter the shelling drills conducted by South Korea and the United States in Cheorwon County, Gangwon Province.
From the 5th, South Korea and the United States jointly implemented a multiple rocket launcher drill in Cheorwon for a period of two days.
The two sides will use multiple rocket launchers and K-9 self-propelled artillery to fire more than 50 rounds and more than 140 rounds of shells in this exercise.
Kim Yo-jong, vice minister of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, said in a statement on November 24 that South Korea's Foreign Ministry said on the 22nd that it was considering additional unilateral sanctions against North Korea.
North Korea is not afraid of the sanctions of the United States and South Korea, which is completely useless behavior.
Kim Yo Jong warned that the more the United States and South Korea suppress sanctions, the stronger North Korea's countermeasures will be.
