He shoots! He SCORES!!!! Once again the sea is defeated!!
[GEO.TV] South Korean media reported Wednesday that North Korea
...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 multiple cruise missiles toward the Yellow Sea, days after conducting two separate weapons testing.

According to the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), the launches took place at around 7am, without giving further details, Yonhap reported.

"While strengthening our monitoring and vigilance, our military has been closely coordinating with the United States to monitor additional signs of North Korea's provocations," the JCS said in a statement quoted by Yonhap.

The launch is the first of its kind since September 2023, when Pyongyang fired two long-range strategic cruise missiles with mock nuclear warheads toward the same area.

The multiple launches come days after Kim Pudge Jong-un
...the overweight, pouty-looking hereditary potentate of North Korea. Pudge appears to believe in his own divinity, but has yet to produce any loaves and fishes, so his subjects remain malnourished...
's forces fired a solid-fuel intermediate-range ballistic missile carrying a hypersonic warhead into the East Sea, marking the first of this year.

North Korean media KCNA reported last week that Pyongyang had tested an "underwater nuclear weapon system" in response to joint naval exercises by the US, South Korea, and Japan.
