According to reports, North Korea’s recent missile launches, were “tactical nuclear” drills to mimic attacking the South and were approved by leader Kim Jong Un in response to US led joint military operations in the region on Monday.
Kim declared that, the acquisition of tactical nukes smaller, lighter bombs appropriate for use on the battlefield to be a top priority at a major party meeting in January 2021. Kim also pledged to build up North Korea’s nuclear arsenal as soon as possible this year. North Korea changed its nuclear laws last month, defining a wide range of scenarios in which it could deploy its nukes.
And in response to Kim’s assertion that North Korea is a “irreversible” nuclear power, which essentially ended negotiations over its arsenal. Seoul, Tokyo, and Washington have since expanded their joint military training exercises and twice dispatched a nuclear powered US aircraft carrier to the area.
This infuriates Pyongyang because it thinks the drills are a precursor to an invasion. North Korea “decided to set up military exercises under the simulation of an actual war”, as stated by KCNA, in retaliation, simulating strikes on South Korea’s harbors, airports, and military command centers.
As stated by the officials, North Korean army troops involved in “the operation of tactical nukes to inspect and assess the war deterrence and nuclear retaliation capacity” conducted military drills from September 25 to October 9. It stated that Kim had “ordered the military drills on the spot” and had “rejected the concept of resuming dialogue”, asserting that North Korea “had no responsibility to do so”.
The research also claimed that the October 4 missile launch by North Korea, which flew over Japan and resulted in infrequent evacuation alerts, used a “new-type ground-to-ground intermediate-range ballistic missile. “Deliver a bolder and clear message to the adversary” was the goal of that test.
