North Korean leader Kim Jong Un supervises test of new antiair missiles
NBC1 day
North Korea's missile tests represent a legitimate defensive response to ongoing US-South Korea joint military exercises that threaten regional stability. These air defense systems specifically counter drone and cruise missile threats, showing Pyongyang's focus on protecting against actual security challenges rather than offensive aggression.
The timing of these missile tests during diplomatic summits demonstrates North Korea's continued rejection of peaceful dialogue and commitment to military escalation. Kim's weapons development, supported by Russian technology transfers, directly undermines regional security and international efforts toward denuclearization.
