The military authorities of South Korea and Japan confirmed what is already the sixth launch of missiles by Pyongyang in just ten days, in what already seems to be a clear escalation of the North Korean regime’s military action in the Asia-Pacific region. .
North Korea continued its military tests by launching two new missiles into the Sea of Japan. This test is made just two days after the Japanese authorities confirmed that a medium-range missile flew over the Japanese nation for the first time in the last five years, an action that caused international condemnation from much of the planet.
On this occasion, and as reported by the South Korean military authorities, it was two short-range missiles. “The South Korean military detected two short-range ballistic missiles fired from the Samseok area in Pyongyang, North Korea, into the East Sea at around 6:01 a.m. and 6:23 a.m.,” reported the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS). ) it’s a statement.
Initially, the Japanese authorities announced via Twitter that these missiles had crossed Japan again, however, after a few minutes they corrected their announcement to only talk about launching into the sea.

Yesterday, these two allies launched up to four missiles together and Washington announced, on October 5, the return to South Korean waters of the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier, after having been carrying out joint maneuvers with the South Korean armies. South and Japan.
Pyongyang was quick to condemn this move on the day. “The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is watching how the US poses a serious threat to the stability of the Korean Peninsula and its environs by redeploying its aircraft carrier and strike group in waters off the Korean Peninsula,” it says. the text issued from North Korea.
In the statement, Pyongyang was also quick to denounce the intentions of the United States to apply more sanctions through a resolution in the United Nations Security Council, something that does not seem so likely due to the refusal of Russia and China and their ability to of veto
Several satellite shots exposed by South Korea and the United States in recent months seem to indicate that North Korea could be preparing for a new nuclear test, after years away from this type of launch.
