Seoul: North Korea on Thursday fired several ballistic missilestords from its eastern water, saying the South Korean army said, linking a run of arms tests promoting enmity in the region. South Korea’s Joint Chief of Staff said weapons extracted from an area around Eastern port city of Wonson were considered as short-range ballistic missiles.The South Army did not immediately say how far they flew away. The joint chiefs said that the army has strengthened the surveillance by sharing information about the launch with the United States and Japan. It was the first known known ballistic activity of the north since March 10, when it fired several ballistic missiles several hours after the US and South Korean troops, which began an annual joint military exercise, and the sixth launch event of the year of the country. Tensions on the Korean peninsula have increased in recent months as North Korean leader Kim Jong Un continues to accelerate the development of his nuclear and missile program and supplies weapons and soldiers to support Russia’s war against Ukraine. Thursday launched a day after North Korean state media, Kim said Kim urged Munishan workers to promote the production of artillery shells amidst her deep alignment with Moscow. After denying its war participation for months, North Korea confirmed for the first time last month that it had sent a fight to the soldiers to help Russia to re -create parts of the Kursk region, who fell in a surprising Ukrainian avatar last year. The recent South Korean intelligence assessment suggests that North Korea has sent around 15,000 soldiers to Russia, and about 5,000 of them has been killed or injured while fighting against Ukrainian forces. Washington and Seoul have also accused North Korea of supplying Russia with a wide variety of military equipment, including artillery systems and shells and ballistic missiles.
