Missile tests

MISSILE TESTS

North Korea test-fires long-range cruise missiles off its eastern coast on Thursday, Feb. 23, 2023. The launches, confirmed by South Korea’s military, were intended to verify the reliability of the missiles and the rapid-response capabilities of the unit that operates those weapons, North Korean state media said. The launches took place as the US and South Korea held a simulation in Washington aimed at sharpening their response to North Korean nuclear threats. Pyongyang’s official Korean Central News Agency said the four missiles flew for nearly three hours after being launched from the northeastern coast and showed they can hit targets 2,000 kilometers (1,240 miles) away. South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the flight details announced by North Korea had discrepancies with the readings by US and South Korean intelligence assets, but it didn’t elaborate. It said the allies were continuing to analyze the launches.
