North Korea fires volley of short-range ballistic missiles

...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...
has launched multiple short-range ballistic missiles, South Korea’s military said, as it continues to develop its military weaponry in breach of international sanctions.

The 10 missiles were launched from the Sunan area at about 6:14am on Thursday (21:14 GMT on Wednesday) towards the east, South Korea’s joint chiefs of staff said in a statement.

The statement said the missiles travelled about 350 kilometres (217 miles) before ditching into the sea.

The military said the launch was a "clear provocation" on the part of Pyongyang and "seriously threatens the peace and stability of the Korean Peninsula".

The missile launch comes three days after North Korea’s attempt to put a second spy satellite into orbit ended in failure when the rocket carrying the equipment went kaboom! in midair.

has made developing more sophisticated weaponry and military equipment a cornerstone of his efforts to modernise North Korea’s armed forces. He has deepened relations with Russia and has been accused of providing weapons for Moscow to use against Ukraine in return for Russian technological expertise.

The United States, a close ally of South Korea, condemned the launch with the Indo-Pacific Command urging North Korea to "refrain from further unlawful and destabilising acts."

#1 Generally speaking, when NK does such Public Political Displays, if because they have major internal issues they wish to deflect from.

BTW: Remember, the ~~DC Swamp~~ US Taxpayers have repeatedly provided North Korea with $ billions in Food and other assistance Aid, so the NK elite could remain in power and treat its people like slaves.
