North Korea missile program

The top diplomats from the three countries met in New York on Thursday to coordinate the joint response over North Korea’s nuclear and missile threats.

On South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol’s 100th day in office, North Korea test-fired its two cruise missiles.

Some say Pyongyang’s artillery shots were to respond to the South Korea-U.S. joint military drills, but there is another rationale.

Hours after U.S. President Joe Biden wrapped up his trip to South Korea and Japan, North Korea test-fired three ballistic missiles, including a suspected ICBM.

North Korea conducted its 15th missile test this year, believed to be a submarine-launched ballistic missile.

North Korea held a military parade to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Korean People’s Revolutionary Army on Monday.

North Korea tested its “new-type tactical guided weapon” a day after the birth anniversary of Kim Il Sung. Seoul apparently did not detect the launch before the North’s state media reported it.

South Korea’s Defense Ministry said the missile launched on March 24 was not Pyongyang’s new Hwasong-17 ICBM, but the older Hwasong-15.  

In response, the U.S. imposed new sanctions on the entities and individuals of North Korea and Russia involved in the North’s missile program. 

Days after the U.S. warned of North Korea testing its new ICBM system, South Korea’s military said the North failed to launch an unidentified projectile.

Has the Russian invasion of Ukraine changed North Korea’s strategic calculus?
