The new development thus reportedly represents a \u201cqualitative change\u201d in the military\u2019s capabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">North Korea allegedly owns multiple rocket launchers with calibers of 122, 240, and 300-mm. The 240-mm missile launcher is believed to be the main weapon aimed at Seoul and the surrounding area \u2013 which the regime has repeatedly threatened could turn the South Korean capital into a \u201csea of fire.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>In the first two months of the new year, North Korea has already carried out four weapons tests<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In its first launch of 2024 on Jan. 14, North Korea conducted a test launch with a newly developed medium-range solid-fuel missile. Intelligence data <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nagix.github.io\/nk-missile-tests\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shows<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> it flew around 1,000 kilometers before crashing in the Sea of Japan. The test underscored the regime\u2019s efforts to further develop its weapons, which could be aimed at U.S. facilities stationed in the Pacific \u2013 like, for instance, the U.S. military hub on Guam.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Jan. 24 and 28, the DPRK further tested Pulhwasal-3-31 cruise missiles, which North Korea claims are fired from submarines, as well as a Hwasal-2 cruise missile on Jan. 30. The latter is believed to be nearing real-life deployment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the South Korean military, the cruise missiles on Jan. 28 flew eastwards towards the East Sea, whereas the other rockets were directed to the west towards the Yellow Sea. After each of the test launches this year, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/kcnawatch.org\/newstream\/1706479567-894008571\/respected-comrade-kim-jong-un-guides-test-fire-of-submarine-launched-strategic-cruise-missile\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reiterated<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> his goal of building a nuclear-armed navy to counter what he perceives as \u201cgrowing external threats.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pyongyang\u2019s demonstration of its latest developments is presumably intended as a warning to the rulers in Washington and Seoul but also serves as proof of its capabilities towards the Russian regime, which is seen as an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/russian-ambassador-to-pyongyang-provides-insights-into-current-trade-with-north-korea-and-the-status-of-its-weapons-development\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">increasingly important trading partner<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for the DPRK.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Tensions on and around the peninsula are on the rise<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tensions on the Korean Peninsula are currently higher than they have been for years. Earlier this year, North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/kcnawatch.org\/newstream\/1705299032-794052336\/%eb%8b%b9%ec%a4%91%ec%95%99%ec%9c%84%ec%9b%90%ed%9a%8c-%ec%a0%9c8%ea%b8%b0-%ec%a0%9c9%ec%b0%a8%ec%a0%84%ec%9b%90%ed%9a%8c%ec%9d%98%ec%97%90%ec%84%9c-%ec%a0%9c%ec%8b%9c%eb%90%9c-%eb%8c%80%eb%82%a8\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">announced<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that his country was abandoning its longstanding objective of a peaceful unification with the South and ordered a fundamental change to North Korea\u2019s constitution to declare the South as its most hostile foreign adversary. He then stated that the North had no intention to avoid war and would use its nukes to destroy the United States, South Korea, and Japan. He has since been <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/n-korea-orders-dramatic-increase-in-weapons-production\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pushing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for the regime\u2019s weapons development at an unprecedented pace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just three days before the most recent weapons test, on Feb. 8, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres denounced \u201cany attempt by North Korea to launch missiles or develop nuclear weapons\u201d at a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/press.un.org\/en\/2024\/sgsm22130.doc.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">press conference<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at the United Nations headquarters in New York. \u201cI strongly condemn any violation of sanctions,\u201d Guterres said. He described it as \u201cabsolutely essential\u201d that North Korea, like all other nations, adheres to the universally applicable resolutions of the Security Council, which prohibit, among other things, the illegal development of nuclear weapons. However, the rules are \u201csometimes difficult to implement,\u201d Guterres acknowledged. \u201cBut all these things [&#8230;] are completely unacceptable from our point of view.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In recent years, the UN Security Council has repeatedly convened meetings in light of North Korea\u2019s frequent missile launches. However, as China and Russia, as members of the Security Council, have repeatedly exercised their right to veto further sanctions against North Korea, the United Nations has so far been unable to respond to the DPRK\u2019s provocations with stricter measures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The United States and its Asian allies have therefore taken it upon themselves to intensify their joint military exercises in the region, increasingly deploying strategic weapons systems such as aircraft carriers, long-range bombers, and nuclear-powered submarines. The countries have also recently stepped up their deterrence strategies, intelligence sharing, and international cooperation \u2013 including a record number of multilateral sanctions imposed on North Korea or affiliated organizations and individuals last year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Edited by Robert Lauler.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Please send any comments or questions about this<\/em>\u00a0article<em>\u00a0to dailynkenglish@uni-media.net.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North Korea\u2019s state media reported on Feb. 12 that the regime had managed to develop new controllable shells for a multiple rocket launcher as part of its push to expand its weapons arsenal.
