SEOUL, 26 May 2022, (TON): North Korea fired a volley of missiles, including possibly its largest intercontinental ballistic missile, just hours after US President Joe Biden left Asia after a trip overshadowed by Pyongyang’s sabrerattling.
North Korea has also been conducting operational tests of a nuclear detonation device, Kim Taehyo, Seoul’s first deputy director of the National Security Office, said, adding a test could come imminently.
His warning adds to the drumbeat of predictions from US and South Korean officials, who have been saying for weeks that Kim Jong Un’s regime is close to conducting its seventh nuclear test.
Three missiles, including one ICBM, were fired from the Sunan area in Pyongyang, Seoul said “one of nearly 20 weapons tests by North Korea so far this year, prompting joint US-South Korea live fire missile drills in response.”
