...hereditary Communist monarchy distinguished by its truculence and periodic acts of violence. Distinguishing features include Songun (Army First) policy, which involves feeding the army before anyone but the Dear Leadership, and Juche, which is Kim Jong Il's personal interpretation of Marxism-Leninism, which he told everybody was brilliant. In 1950 the industrialized North invaded agrarian South Korea. Twenty-one countries of the United Nations eventually contributed to the UN force opposing the invasion, with the United States providing around 90% of the military personnel. Seventy years later the economic results are in and it doesn't look good for Juche...fired two short-range ballistic missiles into the sea sometime after the United States deployed B-1B bombers for allied military exercises, as the regional tensions rise with Washington assisting friends to prepare to face any possible aggression.
According to Japanese media reports, two missiles landed outside Tokyo’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ) with the defence ministry of the country mentioning only one.
North Korea confirmed the firing of two short-range ballistic missiles as part of a "tactical nuclear strike drill," according to Korean Central News Agency.
KCNA reported Thursday that Pyongyang fired these missiles late Wednesday in a "tactical nuclear strike drill simulating scorched earth strikes at major command centres and operational airfields" across the border in South Korea.
"The missile unit fired two tactical ballistic missiles northeastward at Pyongyang International Airport and correctly carried out its nuclear strike mission through air bursts at a preset altitude of 400 meters above the target island," the media report quoted military's statement.
"The drill is aimed to send a clear message to the enemies," the nuclear-armed country's military said in a statement.
South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said: "Our military has strengthened surveillance and vigilance in preparation for additional provocations, and is maintaining full readiness through close cooperation between Korea and the United States."
