North Korea deploys 250 new launchers

News summary

North Korea has deployed 250 new tactical ballistic missile launchers to its southern border, described by leader Kim Jong Un as a crucial enhancement of military capabilities intended to defend against perceived threats from the United States and South Korea. The launchers, capable of firing tactical nuclear missiles, were showcased during a ceremony in Pyongyang, highlighting Kim's commitment to expanding the country's nuclear arsenal amid regional tensions. Analysts indicate that the launchers, which can hold four missiles each, enhance North Korea's ability to conduct rapid strikes against South Korea and US bases in the region. This development comes as inter-Korean relations deteriorate, with North Korea recently declaring South Korea its 'principal enemy' and resuming aggressive military posturing. Additionally, reports suggest that North Korea's arms supply to Russia may be affecting its missile production capacity. The US, South Korea, and Japan have responded by increasing military exercises and coordination to counter North Korea's escalating threats.
