North Korea today tested two short range KN-01 surface-to-ship missiles, firing them into the West Sea.
The KN-01 missile, which North Korea refers to as the ‘Keumho-1’, has a range of 100-120km.
The launch of KN-01 missiles of this nature is unrelated to next month’s planned launch of a satellite using the ‘Unha-3’ launch vehicle. It appears to be a warning message for the U.S. and South Korean military in the disputed West Sea to say that North Korea has reinforced the arrangement of its coastal defenses, a military source told Daily NK.
According to Kim Jin Moo, a researcher with the Korea Institute for Defense Analyses, “North Korea’s test of short-range missiles is something they have been doing as part of winter training for the last four or five years, so it looks like a normal launch test to improve accuracy.”
