December 31, 2022
Arirang News December 31, 2022: According to the Arirang News, Reporter Shin Ha-young, North Korea fired short-range ballistic missiles into the East Sea again on Saturday morning, local time.
It comes after Seoul successfully conducted a test flight of a solid-fuel space vehicle on Friday.
Nuke envoys of South Korea, the U.S. and Japan denounced the regime's launch and decided to increase talks with China to deter the North's further provocations.
Shin Ha-young starts us off.
There has been an unprecedented number of missile tests from North Korea this year, and it fired yet another round of ballistic missiles at the end of the year.
South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said that the regime launched three short-range ballistic missiles or SRBMs into the East Sea from North Hwanghae-do Province, just south of the capital Pyongyang from 8 AM local time.
It's the first missile launch by the North in eight days, when it fired two SRBMs, and also comes five days after Seoul accused Pyongyang of flying drones into South Korea's airspace.
South Korea's JCS announced that the missile traveled about 350 kilometers.
Meanwhile, according to Japan's Ministry of Defense, the missile reached a height of 100 kilometers.
After the launch, top nuclear envoys of South Korea, the U.S., and Japan denounced the regime's latest SRBM launch.
Seoul's Special Representative for Korean Peninsula Peace and Security Affairs, Kim Gunn, spoke on the phone with his American counterpart Sung Kim and Japanese counterpart Takehiro Funakoshi.
All three officials vowed to respond firmly to provocations from Pyongyang and continue with their trilateral security cooperation against North Korea next year.
They also agreed to increase communication with China, as it plays an important role in deterring North Korea's provocations.
Meanwhile, the Saturday launch conducted by the regime came hours after South Korea's test flight of a solid-fuel space launch vehicle.
It was successfully conducted at around 6:50 PM on Friday local time, which is 9 months after the homegrown rocket's first test.
After the flight, South Korea's defense ministry said this was a follow-up to the first test in March and that more will be carried out in the coming years.

DPR Korea and Non-Proliferation: “tensions continue to increase” - Security Council Briefing
Following the latest intercontinental ballistic missile test from the People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), the top UN political affairs official told the Security Council that “tensions continue to increase” in the Korean Peninsula and “with no off ramps insight.”
Briefing the Council on Monday (21 Nov), Rosemary A. DiCarlo, Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peace building Affairs, informed that “the missile reportedly flew a distance of 1,000 km and to an altitude of approximately 6,100km” and “it is reportedly the first successful test of the DPRK’s largest and most powerful missile, capable of reaching all of North America.”
DiCarlo said that “the DPRK’s continued pursuit of its nuclear weapons programme and launches of ballistic missiles blatantly violates relevant Security Council resolutions and have led to a significant escalation of tensions.”
The Under-Secretary-General reiterated the calls on the DPRK “to desist from taking further provocative actions and to fully comply with its international obligations under relevant Security Council resolutions.”
She also informed that “the DPRK appears to be actively pursuing its nuclear programme”, noting that the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported on 16 November that the Punggye-ri Nuclear Test Site “remains prepared to support a nuclear test”.
In addition, DiCarlo said, “the COVID-19 pandemic is complicating diplomacy by impeding official and unofficial contacts with the DPRK.”
According to the UN official, “it is critical to de-escalate and reduce tensions” and “communication channels must be enhanced, particularly military to military, to lower the risk of miscalculation.”
Zhang Jun, the Chinese Permanent Representative to the United Nations, said that “rising interest in the Korean peninsula serves no parties’ interests and it’s not something China wants to see.”
Jun noted that “the world today is full of uncertainties and the Peninsula cannot afford the danger of further deterioration of the situation.”
For China, the ambassador said, “parties must focus on the peace and stability of the peninsula and Southeast Asia at large and take practical measures and play a positive role for a political settlement into the issue.”
From the Republic of Korea, Permanent Representative Joonkook Hwang said “the DPRK is fully taking advantage of the Council’s inaction and divisions to build up its nuclear arsenal.”
According to Hwang, “since the Security Council failed to adopt a resolution because of the opposition by two permanent members in May, the DPRK has launched 40 ballistic missiles, and promulgated its new law on nuclear weapons policy in September, which set the threshold for using nuclear weapons far lower than any other country.”
The Permanent Representative also said that “the DPRK has become increasingly aggressive and dangerous” and “it now stands on the verge of its seventh nuclear test. “
Ishikane Kimihiro, the Permanent Representative to the United Nations of Japan, said his country “urges North Korea to immediately and fully comply with all relevant resolutions and to engage in diplomacy toward denuclearization and accept the repeated offers of dialogue.”
According to Kimihiro, Japan “also urges all Member States to fully implement relevant resolutions and cooperate with the 1718 Committee” and “reiterates its sincere and strong expectation that the Council will fulfill its responsibility by taking a resolute action.”
Following the Security Council meeting, ambassadors from Albania, Ecuador, France, Ireland, India Japan, Malta, Norway, Republic of Korea, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, and United States made a statement at the stakeout.
The message was read by ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, from the United States, who noted that “this was DPRK’s eighth intercontinental ballistic missile launch this year.”
Thomas-Greenfield said that “compared with the total number of intercontinental ballistic missile launches prior to 2022, this represents a serious escalation and poses an unequivocal threat to international peace and security.”
Appealing to action from Council Members, the Permanent Representative said that “the DPRK is acting with impunity in the face of the Security Council’s inaction.”
On 18 November 2022, North Korea reportedly fired at least one ballistic missile into the sea on Friday. The missile landed in Japan’s exclusive economic zone west of Hokkaido.

Remarks by Vice President Harris in a Meeting on the DPRK’s Recent Ballistic Missile Launch
Queen Sirikit National Convention Center
Bangkok, Thailand
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, good afternoon, everyone. I have asked this group of allies and partners to come together to join us in condemning North Korea’s long-range ballistic missile launch this morning. And I’ve also asked them to join so that we, as allies and partners, can consult on next steps.
This conduct by North Korea most recently is a brazen violation of multiple U.N. Security resolutions. It destabilizes security in the region and unnecessarily raises tensions.
We strongly condemn these actions, and we again call for North Korea to stop further unlawful, destabilizing acts.
On behalf of the United States, I reaffirm our ironclad commitment to our Indo-Pacific alliances.
Together, the countries represented here will continue to urge North Korea to commit to serious and sustained diplomacy.
I want to thank these leaders for ongoing discussions in this regard and on so many other very important topics. And I thank you for joining us today.
And with that, Prime Minister Kishida, please.

Statement by NSC Spokesperson Adrienne Watson on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s Ballistic Missile Launch
STATEMENTS AND RELEASES
The United States strongly condemns the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) for its test of a long-range ballistic missile. The President has been briefed on the situation and he and his national security team will continue close consultations with Allies and partners — building on the President’s trilateral meeting on Sunday with Prime Minister Kishida Fumio of Japan and President Yoon Suk Yeol of the Republic of Korea, where they resolved to forge still-closer trilateral links in the security realm. The Vice President is coordinating with our allies and partners in the region while at the APEC Conference in Bangkok, Thailand.
This launch is a brazen violation of multiple UN Security Council resolutions and needlessly raises tensions and risks destabilizing the security situation in the region. This action demonstrates that the DPRK continues to prioritize its unlawful weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programs over the well-being of its people. We urge all countries to condemn these violations and call on the DPRK to come to the table for serious negotiations. The door has not closed on diplomacy, but Pyongyang must immediately cease its destabilizing actions and instead choose diplomatic engagement. The United States will take all necessary measures to ensure the security of the American homeland and Republic of Korea and Japanese allies.

North Korea Tests New Missile With Enough Range To Reach The US
NBC News
Nov 18, 2022
North Korea fired an intercontinental ballistic missile on Friday with enough range to reach the U.S. mainland. The Biden administration condemned the test and vowed to take “all necessary measures” to guarantee Americans’ safety. NBC’s Janis Mackey Frayer reports for TODAY.
-------
Arirang News." Notv 18, 2022
South Korea's top office immediately convened an emergency national security council meeting where President Yoon ordered joint deterrence steps with the U.S. and warned that the South has every capability to counter any North Korean provocation.
Our editor-in-chief Moon Connyoung is at Seoul's presidential office.
It didn't take too long for South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol to identify the missile fired by North Korea just a few hours earlier as an intercontinental ballistic missile.
Yoon had just been briefed on the situation at an emergency meeting of the national security council Friday where he ordered officials to push for stronger international sanctions on North Korea, boost security cooperation with the U.S. ad Japan, and implement unspecified deterrence steps that were previously agreed upon with Washington.
A few hours later
"In response to North Korea's ICBM launch provocation today, South Korea and the U.S. held guided bomb strike drills targeting transporter erector launchers and staged a flight in a combined attack formation over the East Sea."
Joint drills involving a South Korean F-35A stealth military jet firing a guided bomb to destroy a mock North Korean missile-launcher vehicle and four South Korean F-35As and four American F-16 jets flying in formation off the east of South Korea in a show of force.
In line with a statement by the nation's top office.
"South Korea will further bolster our security cooperation with the U.S. and Japan. N. Korea should make no mistake about this. Our government has overwhelming response capability and willingness to immediately take action against any North Korean provocations."
Pyeongyang's second ICBM test this month comes a few days after a trilateral summit between leaders of South Korea, U.S., and Japan on the sidelines of a regional gathering in Cambodia where the three issued a joint statement pledging to work even closer together to strengthen deterrence against the North.
It also follows a face-to-face between President Yoon and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Bali earlier this week and Xi's meetings with Biden and Kishida where all three called for China's role in curbing North Korea's nuclear and missile programs.
"Kim Jong-un's ICBM launch on Friday may be a reflection of Xi Jinping's answer to those calls OR it could be a lack of action by China despite these requests that encouraged the North to go ahead with the missile launch.
The Hwasong-17 (Korean: is a North Korean two-stage ICBM, first unveiled on 10 October 2020, the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) parade. This missile is the latest iteration of North Korea's intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) program, and it has the greatest perceived range out North Korea's missile arsenal (15,000 km+). It had its maiden flight on 24 March 2022.
At the Self-Defence-2021 exhibition, the missile was shown labeled as the Hwasong-17
------------------------------------
Test launches of the Hwasong-17 were carried out first on 26 February 2022, and again on 4 March. North Korea did not publicize news of the launches, with INDOPACOM revealing them later. The United States believed the tests were not intended to demonstrate the ICBM's range but conduct early evaluations of its capabilities. North Korea publicly claimed the launches were intended to test components of a reconnaissance satellite at operational altitudes without disclosing they had been lofted by the new ICBM. It is possible the launches were done to test both satellite components and the ICBM, but only the former was admitted to limit potential international criticism. Missile expert Jeffrey Lewis also raised the possibility that these were launches of the post-boost vehicle for the second stage of the Hwasong-17. A missile launch was attempted on 16 March 2022, but it was a failure. It is suspected that it was a Hwasong-17 test, but was not acknowledged by North Korea due to the unsuccessful launch.
A test launch was carried out and then officially confirmed on 24 March 2022, which resulted in a complete technical success which broke many records for North Korea, for example regarding height and flight time. The footage of the launch may have been doctored, with missile analysts being unable to confirm that the missile that was launched on 24 March was a Hwasong-17, due to inconsistencies with objects in the background of the launch, which matched to satellite imagery on an earlier date than 24 March. Two shots of the observation bus that Kim Jong-un was in appeared to be taken in different locations and grass that was burnt in a controlled burn appeared to be unburnt on Korean Central Television footage. South Korean intelligence alleges that the missile launched on 24 March was likely an improved and modified Hwasong-15, though NK News also stated that there may be other reasons for using old footage, such as a camera failure.

On Oct. 27th, 2022, The United States Wednesday released its 2022 National Defense Strategy which was DoD Transmited 2022 National Defense Strategy on March 28, 2022 | The Department of Defense transmitted the classified 2022 National Defense Strategy (NDS) to Congress today.
The classified NDS sets out how the Department of Defense will contribute to advancing and safeguarding vital U.S. national interests – protecting the American people, expanding America’s prosperity, and realizing and defending our democratic values.
The NDS is the capstone strategic guidance document for the Department of Defense. It translates national security priorities into guidance for military planning and activities. The 2022 NDS is consistent with the President’s Interim National Security Strategic Guidance, released in March 2021.
Although it is showing unclassified 2022 National Defense Strategy which was DoD document fact sheets on Oct. 27th, 2022 that includes Washington's nuclear policies and posture amid growing threats around the world.
Arirang News, Song Yoo-jin reported that With concerns over the possibility of North Korea going ahead with its seventh nuclear test, the United States released its latest National Defense Strategy report on Wednesday local time.
Released by the Department of Defense, the report outlines the country's security priorities, with the Nuclear Posture Review and the Missile Defense Review.
The Nuclear Posture Review describes Washington's nuclear strategy, policy, posture, and military capabilities with the goal of acting as a safe, secure, and effective deterrent.
The document sent a stern warning to Pyeongyang.
Though it didn't recognize the North as a rival on the same scale as China and Russia, the report evaluated the regime as a persistent, growing threat to the U.S. and the Indo-Pacific region, with its expanding, diversifying, and improving nuclear capabilities.
It then warned that any nuclear attack by North Korea against the U.S., its allies, and partners will result in the "end of that regime".
And to dampen the risk of a nuclear conflict, the report reaffirmed a cooperative approach, such as building on already-existing deterrence dialogues.
The U.S. could periodically hold trilateral senior-level talks with South Korea, Japan, or a quadrilateral one, with Australia added.
In terms of Washington's policy toward the North, the U.S. is seemingly taking a carrot-and-stick approach.
It will approach Pyeongyang in a calibrated, diplomatic way, but at the same time, will continue to press the regime to comply with United Nations Security Council Resolutions and return to denuclearization talks.
The UNSC resolutions ban North Korea from testing or launching ballistic missiles.
The report also mentioned China and Russia as posing greater nuclear threats and in response, will come up with tailored, country-specific approaches.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III and South Korean Minister of National Defense Lee Jong-sup Hold a News Conference
Nov. 3, 2022
PENTAGON PRESS SECRETARY BRIG. GEN. PAT RYDER: Thank you, everyone, for being here today.
It is my pleasure to introduce Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin III and Republic of Korea Minister of National Defense Lee Jong-sup. The Secretary and the Minister will deliver opening remarks and then we'll have time to take a few questions. I will moderate and call on the journalists. And with that, Secretary Austin, over to you, sir.
SECRETARY OF DEFENSE LLOYD J. AUSTIN III: Thanks, Pat.
Good afternoon, everyone. And let me again warmly welcome Minister Lee and his team to the Pentagon for the 54th security consultative meeting.
Minister Lee, it's great to have you here. And before I begin, I'd like to express my deepest condolences for the terrible tragedy that occurred in Seoul this past weekend. Our hearts go out to the families of all the victims from across South Korea and around the world, including two young Americans. And we stand together with the people of South Korea during this time of national mourning.
Now, it's highly unfortunate that the DPRK has chosen to interrupt this solemn period with the illegal and destabilizing launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile last night, as well as additional missile launches today. I've consulted with Minister Lee, and we've decided to extend Vigilant Storm, which is our long schedule combined training exercise to further bolster our readiness and interoperability. And we'll continue to work closely together to develop options to protect the United States and our allies in the region.
Now, let me turn to the work of the security consultative meeting. As you know, it's the annual capstone event for the U.S.-ROK alliance. And it brings our defense leaders together to discuss our challenges and opportunities and to deepen our cooperation and friendship. Next year will mark the 70th anniversary of the signing of the U.S.-ROK mutual defense treaty and the establishment of our alliance.
For nearly seven decades this alliance has been an anchor of peace and security on the Korean Peninsula and across the broader Indo-Pacific. And today the ROK is a tremendously capable ally and a provider of security in the region, and a defender of the rules-based international order that keeps us all secure.
Now, Minister Lee and I had an outstanding discussion today. We talked about the DPRK's continued provocations and destabilizing actions. And at this time of heightened tension, our alliance is ironclad. The United States remains fully committed to the defense of the ROK. And our extended deterrence commitment is firm. And it includes a full range of our nuclear and conventional and missile defense capabilities.
Minister Lee and I also talked about the tremendous progress that we've made in recent months to deepen our cooperation and bolster our shared security. Just within the past year we have conducted a very successful summit between our Presidents that charted a shared vision for our alliance's future.
In July, we deployed fifth-generation fighters to the Republic of Korea, and in late September, the USS Ronald Reagan conducted its first port call to the ROK in five years. On the Peninsula, we're returning to large-scale exercises to strengthen our combined readiness and our ability to fight tonight, if necessary.
We're committed to building on these efforts to strengthen integrated deterrence and to ensure that this alliance continues to bolster security and stability on the Korean Peninsula and throughout the Indo-Pacific.
You know, for decades, U.S. and ROK service members have fought side-by-side to defend the ideals of freedom. This alliance is founded on that shared sacrifice. So we will confront the challenges of the future the same way that we have for nearly 70 years: by standing shoulder-to-shoulder as proud allies.
I'm enormously proud of what we've accomplished together, and I'm very grateful for the Republic of Korea's partnership.
So thank you, and let me turn it over to Minister Lee for his comments.
MINISTER OF NATIONAL DEFENSE LEE JONG-SUP (THROUGH TRANSLATOR): Hello. I'm ROK Minister of Defense. First of all, thank you very much for your sincere condolences to the tragedy (that) happened in Korea. Also, thank you for your effort for the peace and security in the Korean Peninsula and development of ROK-U.S. alliance and your support. Thank you very much for that.
Today, through the 54th security consultative meeting, hosted for the first time since the inauguration of the Yoon administration, we once again affirmed the robustness of the ROK-U.S. military alliance and the steadfastness of the combined defense posture. Furthermore, we reaffirmed that ROK-U.S. alliance is developing its global comprehensive strategic alliance based on shared values, such as liberal democracy, human rights, and the rule of law.
Secretary Austin and I held two ministerial meetings this year to work on the details of the agreement on defense areas, as agreed upon during the May ROK-U.S. presidential summit. Today was my third time to meet Secretary Austin and we made a lot of achievements during this 54th SCM.
First, Secretary Austin and I assessed the daily advances of DPRK nuclear and missile threats as a grave security challenge to the peace and stability not only on the Korean Peninsula and Northeast Asia but for the international community. And in order to practically deter and respond to such threats, we agreed to further strengthen the alliance capabilities and posture.
Secretary Austin committed to the provision of extended deterrence to the Republic of Korea, leveraging the full range of military capabilities, including not only nuclear and conventional forces, but missile defense capabilities, but also advanced non-nuclear capabilities, such as space, cyber, and electromagnetic capabilities.
Secretary Austin and I affirmed that any nuclear attack by the DPRK, including the use of tactical nuclear weapons, is unacceptable and result in the end of Kim Jong-un regime by the overwhelming and decisive response of the alliance. This is a strong warning against the DPRK.
Also, Secretary Austin and I pledged to further strengthen alliance capability and posture in respective areas, including information sharing, consultation process, joint planning and execution to effectively deter and respond to the DPRK's advancing nuclear and missile threats.
In particular, Secretary and I will work on response options towards all possible nuclear use scenarios by the DPRK. To this end, Secretary and I noted that progress in revising the Tailored Deterrence Strategy, or TDS, and pledged to put efforts to complete the revision of the TDS by the 2023 SCM, and prepare response options by annually conducting Deterrence Strategy Committee tabletop exercise, or DSC TTX, under the scenario of DPRK nuclear use.
In addition, Secretary Austin pledged to effectively respond to any DPRK provocation by employing U.S. strategic assets to the level equivalent to constant deployment through increasing the frequency and intensity of strategic asset deployment in and around the Korean Peninsula.
Along with the efforts of the alliance to deter and respond to DPRK nuclear threats, Secretary Austin and I pledged to encourage DPRK to choose denuclearization and the path for a brighter future. We also pledged to continue our cooperation to achieve a complete denuclearization of North Korea.
In this context, Secretary Austin assessed that the ROK government's audacious initiative is a practical approach and expresses his support for it. ROK government's audacious initiative is along the same line as the U.S. approach to the DPRK, an approach of deterring DPRK threats based on overwhelming combined defense capability and posture while, in parallel, seeking for a diplomatic solution by keeping the window of dialogue open.
As stated, both countries will adhere to the principal DPRK policies through close cooperation until the day DPRK decides to denuclearize, and the ROK Ministry of National Defense and the U.S. Department of Defense will backstop the efforts with strength.
During the meeting, there were earnest discussions and cooperation between the ROK and the U.S. and our partners for the promotion of regional security and all measures of bolstering multilateral cooperation.
In order to respond to DPRK nuclear and missile threats, Secretary and I affirmed to continuously advance the ROK-U.S.-Japan security cooperation, for which we agreed to activate trilateral senior level policy consultation, information sharing, training, and personnel exchanges.
And Secretary and I also pledged to resume early next year the ASD level policy consultation body called Defense Trilateral Talks, or DTT, which has been suspended for the past years.
Secretary and I also shared a strong sentiment on the importance of the rules-based international order and pledged to closely cooperate for the peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region. In particular, Secretary Austin expressed much interest in the Indo-Pacific Strategy framework, which the ROK government is currently developing.
The Republic of Korea, as a responsible, global, pivotal state of the international community, will more closely cooperate with the United States, the only ally of our nation, in order to overcome global security challenges.
Next year marks the 70th anniversary of the ROK-U.S. alliance while pursuing the goal of global comprehensive strategic alliance. Secretary Austin and I concurred to plan and hold various joint events in celebration of the 70th anniversary for future advancement of the alliance.
The events will serve as an opportunity for us to commemorate the noble sacrifices made in the battlefield by ROK and U.S. service members, and to consult on the challenges which alliance faces today and to envision the path forward for ROK-U.S. alliance.
By reaffirming the unwavering U.S. defense commitment to the Republic of Korea, efforts to strengthen the capabilities to implement the extended deterrence, as well as the robust combined defense posture based on the capability and resolve of our two nations through the 54th SCM, Secretary Austin and I assessed that we have demonstrated values and trust of the ROK-U.S. alliance to the people of both nations and a grave message of warning to the DPRK and the robustness of the alliance to the international community.
Lastly, I once again extend my sincere gratitude to Secretary Austin and the staff at the Department of Defense for their warm hospitality towards myself and the ROK delegation. Thank you very much.
BRIG. GEN. RYDER: Secretary Austin, Minister Lee, thank you gentlemen. Ladies and gentlemen, we'll be switching to consecutive translation for the question-and-answer portion, so would ask you to kindly remove your headsets.
First question will come from Reuters, Phil Stewart.
Q: Thank you. Secretary Austin, do repeated and increasingly regular North Korean missile tests show the U.S.-ROK alliance needs to adjust its deterrence strategy? And on Russia, is it your assessment that Ukrainian forces will be able to retake Kherson City and that the Russian forces are preparing to leave?
And to Minister Lee, you've called for a shift in strategy away from trying to stop North Korea from developing nuclear weapons but what would a shift from the denuclearization look like? And do you believe the U.S. needs to consider reintroducing tactical nuclear weapons to the Korean Peninsula? Thank you.
SEC. AUSTIN: Thanks, Phil. On the first question, in terms of whether or not we need to adjust our strategy, I'll just say first that -- and you've heard me say this a number of times -- that we -- you know, our commitment to defending the ROK is ironclad.
We strongly condemn the DPRK's irresponsible and reckless activities. As we said before, these kinds of activities are destabilizing to the region potentially. So we call on them to cease that type of activity and to begin to engage in serious dialogue.
On the issue of whether or not the Ukrainians can take the remaining territory on the west side of the Dnieper River in Kherson, I certainly believe that they have the capability to do that. Most importantly, the Ukrainians believe that they have the capability to do that.
We've seen them engage in a very methodical but effective effort to take back their sovereign territory. I think you'll see them continue to press until they secure the territory on the west side of the river. So to answer your question, I do think they have the capability.
MIN. LEE (THROUGH TRANSLATOR): As for the question that was asked of me, I believe the question was regarding the redeployment of tactical nukes of the United States. To state our government's stance of denuclearization policy on the Korean Peninsula, I'd like to say that there's no change in our denuclearization policy and that, for now, we do not have a -- we are currently not thinking to redeploy tactical nukes on the Korean Peninsula. Thank you.
BRIG. GEN. RYDER: Thank you, gentlemen. All right, next, we'll go to Korea Herald, Da-gyum Ji.
Da-gyum Ji from The Korea Herald. I have two questions for Secretary Austin. My first question is on the effectiveness of the U.S. extended deterrence. North Korea has so far launched more than 40 missiles of different types since late September and North Korea has threatened to start targeting South Korean territory with tactical nuclear weapons. Clearly, North Korea has continued saber rattling and provocations but do you still think that the current extended deterrence arrangement has been effective in deterring North Korea? And what kind of North Korean behavior should the U.S. and South Korea seek to deter?
And my second question is on the inter-Korean military agreement. North Korea has repeatedly violated the inter-Korean comprehensive military agreement. It has fired around 1,000 artillery shells toward the inter-Korean maritime buffer zone. Do you think the inter-Korean comprehensive military agreement is still effective in reducing tensions between the two Koreas? Do you still support the -- do you support inter-Korean military tension reduction agreement or should we abandon the deal?
SEC. AUSTIN: On the second question, I certainly -- yes, I do think it's effective and I certainly would invite comment from my colleague here, Minister Lee, as well.
In terms of the effectiveness of the -- our deterrence, yes, I do think we've been effective. I would point out to you that we have recently gone back to conducting a number of exercises that are focused on increasing our readiness and our ability to be able to fight tonight.
As a matter of fact, right now, we have one of the largest exercises that we've seen in the -- in recent history. There's some -- over 240 aircraft that are part of that exercise and they're doing, you know, a number of high end types of training events -- conducting a number of high end types of training events, and all of that is designed to ensure that we have the ability to defend the peninsula when -- if called to do so.
And so I think this increased focus on readiness, this -- you know, our ability to redeploy or deploy strategic assets to the peninsula, as you've seen us do here with the fifth generation fighters recently -- you've also seen us move a carrier into port there recently, and I think that's -- that sends a pretty strong signal as well.
But it could be that -- you know -- our neighbors in the north there may be concerned about our increased focus on readiness. So yes, I do think we've been effective and we will continue to look at this and ensure that we remain effective.
Q: So what kind of North Korean behavior should U.S. and South Korea specifically seek to deter?
SEC. AUSTIN: What kind of behaviors would we --
Q: Behaviors the U.S. and South Korea seek to deter?
SEC. AUSTIN: Expect to deter?
Q: Yes, I mean, like, what is the desired behavior that the U.S. and South Korea are trying to bring about?
SEC. AUSTIN: Well, certainly we don't want to see, you know, anyone make a decision to employ a nuclear device. And lately, as you've seen, North Koreans have engaged in activity such as an inter -- testing an intercontinental ballistic missile, a number of short-range ballistic missiles, firing artillery into the ocean. And so all of this activity is potentially destabilizing.
And so you know, again, you know, I think it's possible that they could continue to do that kind of thing, but certainly, we are focused on making sure that they don't choose to employ a nuclear weapon or choose to attack South Korea, so --
BRIG. GEN. RYDER: Our next question will go to CNN, Oren Liebermann.
Q: A question for each of you: Secretary, sir, the Minister said just a moment ago that you'd pledge to effectively respond to any DPRK provocation by employing U.S. strategic assets equivalent to a constant deployment through increased frequency and (inaudible) of strategic asset deployment. What strategic assets do you intend to deploy to the Korean Peninsula? And is this a change in U.S. posture in the region?
And Minister, sir, do you believe a North Korean nuclear test is imminent? And is China playing a constructive role in preventing them from carrying out such a test?
SEC. AUSTIN: Well, you've seen us recently redeploy fifth-generation fighter aircraft. You've seen us exercise our strategic assets from time to time. And again, we -- to answer your question, we don't have a plan to change permanent positioning or stationing of assets on the peninsula currently. But you know, what we're doing together not only to -- on a bilateral basis, but also with our allies in Japan. In each and every case, we'll assess what -- you know, what's going on, and we'll work together to ensure that we provide the right kind of deterrent message. So to answer your question, no new deployment of strategic assets on a permanent basis, but you'll see assets move in and out on a routine basis.
MIN. LEE (THROUGH TRANSLATOR): So to respond to the answer asking whether North Korea is ready for a nuclear test, I can state a statement that as for a third underground facility in North Korea, they are ready to conduct the nuclear test at that area. But when they will carry out the nuclear test is currently still a curiosity, as North Korea will have to take into account the political purpose and to exactly estimate when they will carry out the nuclear test, is a difficulty for us, as well.
And to answer the question about Chinese effect and influence on North Korea, if you traditionally look at the influence that China had in North Korea in the past, there's been a time when despite Chinese opposition to North Korea carrying out a nuclear test, North Korea still carried out the test anyway. So it's difficult to say that China has a decisive effect in North -- in choosing North Korea, as well.
Q: Thank you.
BRIG. GEN. RYDER: And for our final question, we'll go to Yonhap, Sangho Song.
Q: Yes, I have two questions, one to both Secretary Austin and Minister Lee, and the other question is for -- only for Minister Lee. And I think my question is similar to Reuters -- I mean, CNN and my colleague. But even when South Korea and the United States are talking about extended deterrence at the SCM at this point, North Korea fired missiles and artillery shells into the ocean. So -- and when the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier was in South Korea, still, North Korea fired missiles. So the question is if the deterrence works when it comes to North Korea's conventional forms of provocation or low-intensity attacks, you know, so there's still concern of whether or not the terms of the alliance really working fine. So did you actually discuss that issue at the SCM today? And did you come up with any effective measures beyond rhetorical excoriations?
And (UNTRANSLATED)
SEC. AUSTIN: To answer your question, yes, I believe our activities are effective in deterring. You know, one of the things that sends a strong deterrent message is our ability to work together and to be interoperable, and our ability to train our troops to a high level of capability, and also maintain a combat-credible force in the region. And most recently, you've seen us focus on that in a major way. Again, I point to the major exercise that we have ongoing. I -- you know, you mentioned the carrier. That is a serious demonstration of commitment and combat capability. Again, we are focused on making sure that nobody attacks South Korea, and we're committed to that. Our commitment is ironclad. And we're also committed to deterring anyone from using a nuclear device. And yes, I do believe we've been effective in that, and we'll continue to work to make sure that we're working together building increasing capability and increasing our ability to work together, so --
Q: (inaudible) said a criticism that North Korea's artillery and nuclear missile firings are a deterrence failure. You don't accept that?
SEC. AUSTIN: Criticism of --
Q: That North Korea's continued provocations can be seen as a failure in terms of deterrence.
SEC. AUSTIN: I don't. It -- you know, I believe that they are deterred from attacking North Korea -- South Korea -- excuse me. And I also believe they are deterred from employing a nuclear device, either against the -- in the peninsula or against our homeland here in the U.S. Yes, I do believe that.
MIN. LEE (THROUGH TRANSLATOR): So the question was regarding the development of OPLAN and how the endorsed SPD and SPG from security consultative meeting last year and how the OPLAN is developing on top of those agreements that were made in SCM. The question was about how the process was going and when the OPLAN was going to be completed. And as for OPLAN to provide my answer, when you're developing the OPLAN, it's not a one and done deal. It's something that you continue to develop, given the -- take into account the environment of the situation. So it is difficult to say when it will exactly complete. However what I can say is that we will -- in the process of developing the OPLAN we are seeking to expedite the upgrade. However as for the specifics of the information that I can divulge, there is a limitation due to military confidentiality. So I will keep my answer to this.
SEC. AUSTIN: And one final note here, again, in terms of our deterrent efforts and at the types of things that we're deterring. I would point out that we're committed to deterring that type of activity against any of our allies and partners in the region. We remain committed to maintaining a free and open Indo-Pacific region. So thank you very much.
BRIG. GEN. RYDER: Secretary Austin, Minister Lee, thank you, gentlemen. Ladies and gentlemen, that is all the time we have available today. This concludes our press briefing. Thank you for joining us.
North Korean missile tests are a series of North Korean missile tests in 2021 and 2022 which have conducted a record number of tests in 2022, including the first test over Japanese territory since 2017.
January 2021
On 22 January 2021, North Korea launched an unknown cruise missile in Kusong city. At that time, this missile was assessed as an anti-ship cruise missile, later renamed as "KN-27".
March 2021
On 21 March 2021, North Korea again launched an unknown cruise missile in Onchon county. At that time, this missile was assessed as an anti-ship cruise missile, possibly KN-19, but later renamed as "KN-27".
North Korea carried out a test-launch of two upgraded KN-23 short-range ballistic missiles carrying a 2.5-ton live warhead each that correctly hit the simulated targets. While North Korea's official statement reported a 600 km range, Japanese and South Korean sources reported that the missiles flew just over 400 km. Later, the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff revised their range assessment of the new North Korean missiles to 600 km and the Defense Minister said that blind spots due to earth curvature led to an initial estimate of 450 km.
September 2021
On 11–12 September 2021, North Korea carried out tests of a new long-range cruise missile, according to the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). The missiles flew for 1,500 kilometres and successfully hit their target in North Korea's waters, and were meant for a "strategic role" according to the news agency, which analyst Ankit Panda stated was a common euphemism for a missile capable of carrying nuclear warheads.
On 15 September, North Korea fired two ballistic missiles off of its coast according to the South Korean military.
January 2022
On 5 and 11 January 2022, North Korea allegedly tested hypersonic missiles. On 14 January, North Korea tested the firing of ballistic missiles from a rail car. Various missile tests also took place on 25 January 27 January, and 30 January, with the 30 January launch assessed as an intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) capable of striking targets as far as Guam.
February 2022
On 27 February 2022, North Korea launched a ballistic missile towards the Sea of Japan. State media reported that the test was conducted for developing a reconnaissance satellite system.
March 2022
North Korea launched another ballistic missile off its east coast into the sea on 4 March 2022.
North Korea apparently conducted a failed missile test on 16 March 2022, with the presumed missile exploding at a height of 20 km.
On 20 March, it was reported that North Korea fired a short-range multiple rocket launcher. North Korea's military fired four shots around 7:20 a.m. (22:00 GMT) on Saturday.
North Korea conducted its first successful ICBM launch in years on 24 March 2022.
April 2022
North Korea fired two short-range missiles on 16 April 2022, testing what is possibly North Korea's first tactical nuclear weapons delivery system.
May 2022
On 4 May 2022, at 12:03 pm local time, North Korea fired a missile from Sunan. Depending on the source, this was counted as either North Korea's 13th or 14th missile test of the year.
North Korea launched an apparent submarine-launched ballistic missile into the Sea of Japan on 7 May 2022.
A North Korean missile test may have taken place on 12 May 2022. The South Korean military assessed three short-range ballistic missiles fired East out of the Korean peninsula, while the Japanese Coast Guard reported a possible ballistic missile landing near Tokyo's exclusive economic zone.
According to the South Korean military, North Korea fired an ICBM and two other missiles on 25 May 2022. The ICBM's trajectory had a height of 335 miles and a distance of 223 miles. The second missile was reportedly lost after traveling 12 miles, and the third missile had a height of 37 miles and a distance of 472 miles.
June 2022
North Korea fired eight short-range ballistic missiles on 5 June 2022, which was said to be its largest single test. It was launched a day after South Korea and the United States ended their joint military drills.
August 2022
On 17 August 2022, North Korea fired two ballistic missiles for the first time since June.
September 2022
On 25 September 2022, North Korea test-fired a ballistic missile toward its eastern sea. The test came as the US nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan and its strike group arrived in South Korea for joint military exercises.
On 28 September, North Korea fired two more missiles, reportedly on an irregular trajectory.
On 29 September, North Korea launched at least one missile.
October 2022
On 1 October 2022, North Korea fired ballistic missiles, its fourth test in a week.
On 4 October 2022, North Korea launched a missile that flew over and past Japan, prompting Japanese prime minister Fumio Kishida to release an announcement warning citizens to take shelter and other precautionary measures. The missile, likely another ICBM, is said to have landed in the Pacific without incident. It is also speculated that this missile has the longest range of all of the missiles tested by North Korea, and was fired over the Sea of Japan for the first time since 2017.
On 6 October 2022, North Korea fired two additional ballistic missiles.
On 9 October 2022, North Korea again fired two additional ballistic missiles.
On 12 October 2022, North Korea fired two long-range cruise missiles, each of which travelled 2,000 kilometres (1,200 mi), and were reported to have hit their targets.
On 14 October 2022, North Korea launched a short-range ballistic missile, towards its eastern waters.
On 28 October 2022, North Korea was reported to have launched a ballistic missile off its east coast.
November 2022
On 2 November 2022, North Korea reportedly fired 23 missiles of various types—the most in a single day—including a ballistic missile that landed in international waters 167 kilometers off Ulleung island, triggering air raid sirens there.
On 3 November 2022, North Korea reportedly fired three ballistic missile off its east coast—one long-range and two short-range—including one that flew near Japan after failure. The launch triggered the Japanese emergency broadcast system, which warned residents in the prefectures of Miyagi, Yamagata, and Niigata to stay indoors.
N. Korea's ICBM launch appears to have failed after going through stage separation
NOVEMBER 02, 2022
Statement by NSC Spokesperson Adrienne Watson on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s ICBM Test
BRIEFING ROOM
STATEMENTS AND RELEASES
The United States strongly condemns the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) for its test of an Intercontinental ballistic missile. The President and his national security team are assessing the situation in close coordination with our allies and partners. This launch, in addition to the launch of multiple other ballistic missiles this week, is a flagrant violation of multiple UN Security Council resolutions and needlessly raises tensions and risks destabilizing the security situation in the region. This action demonstrates that the DPRK continues to prioritize its unlawful weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programs over the well-being of its people. We urge all countries to condemn these violations and call on the DPRK to cease its destabilizing actions and engage in serious dialogue. The United States will take all necessary measures to ensure the security of the American homeland and Republic of Korea and Japanese allies.

Arirang News Nov. 3rd, 2022: S. Korea's President Yoon orders strengthened S. Korea, U.S. joint defense vis-a-vis N. Korea in emergency NSC: Moon Connyoung, Arirang News: As North Korea continued its weapons provocations for the second straight day, South Korea's presidential office convened an emergency National Security Council meeting to discuss the launches.
The top office said the South Korea, U.S. joint military drills will stay on schedule regardless of the North's testing activities.
Our editor-in-chief Moon Connyoung reports.
As North Korea fired multiple ballistic missiles Thursday morning... just one day after the regime's barrage of weapons tests... the South Korean President's national security advisor Kim Sung-han convened an emergency security meeting to discuss the North's escalating provocations.
Joining the meeting upon returning from a visit to a mourning site for the victims of a crowd surge in Itaewon last weekend, President Yoon ordered the military to strengthen its defense in conjunction with its alliance with the United States, strengthen the South Korea, U.S. extended deterrence enforcement and expand the South Korea, U.S., Japan security cooperation.
The president and the security council members noted that Thursday's missiles from North Korea come on the heels of the more than 20 missiles and artillery shells fired just a day before... one of which flew in the direction of a populated South Korean island and landed on the southern side of a de facto sea border.
On Wednesday, November 3rd, 2022, "Upon being briefed on the situation, President Yoon Suk-yeol ordered swift and stern measures so that North Korea pays a clear price for its provocations."
This again, they echoed a grave violation of UN Security Council resolutions and serious provocations driving up tensions in and around the peninsula.
Seoul's top office said South Korea will maintain its combined military exercises with the United States in response to North Korea’s intensifying testing activity, which it said would only deepen the North’s international isolation and unleash further economic shock on its people.
That condemnation was repeated by the top nuclear envoys of Seoul, Washington, and Tokyo over the phone when they stressed that the responsibility over escalating tensions on the peninsula lies solely with Pyeongyang and that its repeated provocations will only further boost the three countries' security cooperation.
-----------------------------

North Korea Tests Long-Range Strategic Cruise Missile
Kim Jong Un guided the test-launch on Wednesday, KCNA reported, continuing his heavy emphasis on North Korea’s tactical nuclear weapons.
October 13, 2022, According to Reporter Mitch Shin, Kim Jong Un, the supreme leader of the North, guided the test-launch on Wednesday, KCNA reported. It also reported that the missiles successfully hit the target 2,000 kilometers away in the western waters of the country and proved “the correctness, technical advantages and actual war efficiency of the overall weapon system.”
The South Korean military did not release a public alert about the North’s test on Wednesday, and the U.S. and Japanese militaries also have not released any statement on this test yet. North Korean cruise missile launches, unlike its ballistic missile launches, are not a violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions.
KCNA reported that the long-range “strategic” cruise missiles are deployed within “the units of the Korean People’s Army for the operation of tactical nukes” and the test “was aimed at further enhancing the combat efficiency and might of the long-range cruise missiles.”
According to a KCNA report on Monday, the spate of missile launches from September 25 to October 9 were staged by “tactical nuclear operations units” of the KPA. Kim guided the missile launches, including one ballistic missile launched from “a silo under a reservoir” in the Taecheon area in North Pyongan province on September 25, demonstrating its capabilities to invade the detection and interception efforts of South Korea-U.S. military assets. However, experts have raised questions over the operational capabilities demonstrated by the reservoir-launched missile, since it is impossible to launch from a reservoir in winter if it freezes. South Korean military downplayed the missile as well, saying that it is the North’s “last resort” to evade the South Korea-U.S. surveillance.
“We should continue to expand the operational sphere of the nuclear strategic armed forces to resolutely deter any crucial military crisis and war crisis at any time and completely take the initiative in it,” Kim was quoted as saying in the KCNA report on Thursday. Kim called the Thursday’s test-fire “another clear warning to the enemies and the practical verification and clear demonstration of the absolute reliability and combat capacity of our state’s war deterrent.”
He added, “We should focus all efforts on the endless and accelerating development of the national nuclear combat armed forces.”
As the escalations on the Korean Peninsula increase with the North’s nuclear and missile threats, more and more experts and politicians have raised the call for South Korea to also pursue nuclear capability, under the idea of matching “nuclear power to nuclear power.” This prospect, once nearly unthinkable, has received more public support in South Korea as North Korea’s nuclear capabilities grow. A poll from February 2022 found 71 percent of South Koreans in favor of their country developing its own nuclear weapons.
South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol has not ruled out the possibility of his country moving forward to pursue nuclear arms. However, the United States is unlikely to authorize the deployment of U.S. tactical nuclear weapons in South Korea, much less approve of Seoul developing its own nuclear weapons.
Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), one of North Korea’s main state-controlled media outlets, reported on Thursday that the country had test-fired two long-range strategic cruise missiles.
Kim Jong Un, the supreme leader of the North, guided the test-launch on Wednesday, KCNA reported.

Arirang News, Reporter, Kim Do Yen, October 13, 2022: North Korea test fires 2 long range cruise missile with Kim Jong-un in charge: KCNA
Updated : 2022-10-13 10:39:00.0 KST Edited : 2022-10-13 09:00:00.0 KST: North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, on Wednesday, reportedly oversaw the test-firing of two long-range strategic cruise missiles that successfully hit a target 2-thousand kilometers away.
That's according to the regime's state media on Thursday morning.
The Korean Central News Agency also said the test was to check the missiles' capabilities as they are used by Pyeongyang's tactical nuclear weapons unit, adding that this was a clear warning to North Korea's enemies.
South Korea's military said the missile test was not a violation of UN Security Council's resolutions.

President Biden spoke with Prime Minister Kishida of Japan today to reinforce our ironclad commitment to Japan’s defense following the DPRK’s long-range ballistic missile launch over Japan on October 3. The leaders jointly condemned the DPRK’s missile test in the strongest terms, recognizing the launch as a danger to the Japanese people, destabilizing to the region, and a clear violation of United Nations Security Council resolutions. They confirmed they would continue to closely coordinate their immediate and longer-term response bilaterally, trilaterally with the Republic of Korea, and with the international community. The leaders discussed the importance of immediate return and resolution of the cases of Japanese citizens abducted by the DPRK and resolved to continue every effort to limit the DPRK’s ability to support its unlawful ballistic missile and weapons of mass destruction programs.

Statement by NSC Spokesperson Adrienne Watson on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s Ballistic Missile Launch
BRIEFING ROOM
STATEMENTS AND RELEASES
The United States strongly condemns the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s (DPRK) dangerous and reckless decision to launch a long-range ballistic missile over Japan. This action is destabilizing and shows the DPRK’s blatant disregard for United Nations Security Council resolutions and international safety norms. Tonight, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan spoke with his Japanese and Republic of Korea (ROK) counterparts, Secretary General Akiba Takeo of the National Security Secretariat of Japan and National Security Office Director Kim Sung-han of the ROK. In both calls, the National Security Advisors consulted on appropriate and robust joint and international responses and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan reinforced the United States’ ironclad commitments to the defense of Japan and the ROK. The United States will continue its efforts to limit the DPRK’s ability to advance its prohibited ballistic missile and weapons of mass destruction programs, including with allies and UN partners.
US, S. Korea fire missiles to sea, matching North’s launches
N. Korea launches 8 short-range ballistic missiles on Sunday
According to Arirang News, North Korea this morning launched eight short-range ballistic missiles toward the East Sea -- the most it's launched at one time so far this year.
They were launched, according to South Korea, successively from 9:08 this morning until 9:43.
Shin Ye-eun has the details.
North Korea on Sunday fired eight short-range ballistic missiles towards the East Sea.
According to South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff, at least some of the missiles were fired
from the Sunan District of Pyeongyang, where the regime has its main airfield.
The South Korean military is currently analyzing the missiles' trajectory.
Sunday's launch came just a day after South Korea and the U.S. wrapped up a three-day joint naval exercise in waters off Okinawa... in a demonstration of the strength of their alliance and their joint defense capabilities.
Other missile tests by the North this year have also come after allied military drills or talks.
Less than two weeks ago, on May 25th,... Pyongyang fired a suspected ICBM and two apparent short-range ballistic missiles into the East Sea.
That was just a day after U.S. President Joe Biden left Korea... following a summit with President Yoon Suk-yeol in which they agreed to strengthen the allies' defenses.
South Korea's military is also on high alert for the North to conduct what would be its seventh nuclear test.
Satellite imagery has shown work underway at the regime's main nuclear test site.
And leader Kim Jong-un himself said in March that he's been ramping up the North's nuclear program so that the weapons can be used at any time.
"We've been building our nuclear capability to prevent war. But, if we are put in a situation we don't desire, we may have to use it."
South Korea's National Security Adviser Kim Sung-han convened the standing committee of the NSC to discuss the latest missile launch.
If necessary, President Yoon is reportedly going to chair a full meeting of the NSC himself... for the second time since he took office last month.

------ Hindustan Times. U.S. & South Korea's tit-for-tat: 8 ballistic missiles fired in Japan sea to counter North Korea.
In a sharp response to missile tests by North Korea, the United States and South Korea fired eight ballistic missiles. This comes a day after North Korea launched eight short-range ballistic missiles following a South Korea-U.S. joint military exercise involving a U.S. aircraft carrier. A ground-to-ground Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missile was launched at targets in the East Sea, also known as the Sea of Japan, in the early morning. Yonhap news agency reported that the militaries of South Korea and the United States fired eight surface-to-surface missiles over 10 minutes starting at 4:45 am. U.S. Indo-Pacific Command said the exercise included one U.S. Army missile and seven from South Korea. Watch this video for more details.
Japan PM: Missile launches by North Korea cannot be tolerated | S. Korea, US also respond | WION
South Korea and the United States staged their first combined military drill involving an American aircraft carrier since 2017. On the other side, North Korea showed signs of resuming missile tests. Japan PM lashed out at the tests conducted by North Korea.
AP, June 6, 2022.
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The U.S. and South Korean militaries launched eight ballistic missiles into the sea Monday in a show of force matching a North Korean missile display a day earlier that extended a provocative streak in weapons demonstrations.
The allies’ live-fire exercise involved eight Army Tactical Missile System missiles — one American and seven South Korean — that were fired into South Korea’s eastern waters across 10 minutes following notifications for air and maritime safety, according to South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff and U.S. Forces Korea.
The tit-for-tat missile launches were aimed at demonstrating the ability to respond swiftly and accurately to North Korean attacks, the South Korean military said.
The South’s military on Sunday detected North Korea firing eight short-range missiles over 35 minutes from at least four different locations, including from western and eastern coastal areas and two inland areas north of and near the capital, Pyongyang, in what appeared to be a single-day record for the country’s ballistic launches.
It was North Korea’s 18th round of missile tests in 2022 alone — a streak that included the country’s first launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles in nearly five years. South Korean and U.S. officials also say North Korea is preparing to conduct its first nuclear test since September 2017 as leader Kim Jong Un pushes a brinkmanship aimed at cementing the North’s status as a nuclear power and negotiating economic and security concessions from a position of strength.
U.S. and South Korean forces conducted a similar live-fire exercise following North Korea’s previous ballistic launches on May 25, which South Korea’s military said involved an ICBM flown on medium-range trajectory and two short-range weapons. Those tests came as Biden wrapped up his trip to South Korea and Japan, where he reaffirmed the U.S. commitment to defend both allies.
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol during a speech marking the country’s Memorial Day on Monday said his government would pursue “fundamental and practical security capabilities” to counter North Korea’s growing nuclear weapons and missile threat.
“North Korea’s nuclear weapons and missile programs have grown to a point where they are not only a threat to the Korean Peninsula, but to Northeast Asia and world peace,” Yoon said at the National Cemetery in Seoul, saying his government would “sternly respond to any kind of North Korean provocation.”
Yoon, a conservative who took office in May, has vowed to strengthen the South’s defense in conjunction with its alliance with the United States. His goals include enhancing missile strike and interception capabilities and resuming large-scale military exercises with the United States, which were suspended or downsized in recent years to create space for diplomacy with Pyongyang or because of COVID-19.
Yoon’s dovish predecessor, Moon Jae-in, who had staked his five-year term on inter-Korean engagement, refrained from missile counter-drills after North Korea resumed ballistic missile tests in 2019 as its diplomacy with the United States fizzled.
North Korean state media have yet to comment on Sunday’s launches. They came after the U.S. aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan concluded a three-day naval drill with South Korea in the Philippine Sea on Saturday, apparently their first joint drill involving a carrier since November 2017, as the countries move to upgrade their defense exercises in the face of North Korean threats.
North Korea has long condemned the allies’ combined military exercises as invasion rehearsals and often countered with its own missile drills, including short-range launches in 2016 and 2017 that simulated nuclear attacks on South Korean ports and U.S. military facilities in Japan.
Hours after the North Korean launches, Japan and the United States conducted a joint ballistic missile exercise aimed at showing their “rapid response capability” and “strong determination” to counter threats, Japan’s Defense Ministry said.
The United States has vowed to push for additional international sanctions if North Korea conducts a nuclear test, but the prospects for meaningful new punitive measures are dim with the U.N. Security Council’s permanent members divided.
Russia and China vetoed a U.S.-sponsored resolution that would have imposed additional sanctions on North Korea over its latest ballistic tests on May 25, insisting that Washington should instead focus on reviving negotiations with Pyongyang.
Addressing the brewing animosity, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian called for related nations to “maintain calm and exercise restraint, and avoid any actions that may aggravate tensions.”
Nuclear talks between Washington and Pyongyang have stalled since 2019 over disagreements in exchanging the release of crippling U.S.-led sanctions for the North’s disarmament steps.
Despite facing harsh challenges at home, including a decaying economy and a COVID-19 outbreak, Kim has shown no willingness to fully surrender an arsenal he sees as his strongest guarantee of survival.
His government has so far rejected the Biden administration’s offers for open-ended talks and is clearly intent on converting the dormant denuclearization negotiations into a mutual arms-reduction process, experts say.

--------------------------------------------
In the first 4 weeks of 2022, North Korea conducted 7 missile tests. Missiles tested included a hypersonic glide vehicle, an intermediate range ballistic missile (IRBM) and various cruise missiles.
Fissile material production: Plutonium facilities, North Korea's plutonium-based nuclear reactors are located at the Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center, about 90 km north of Pyongyang.
One Soviet-supplied IRT-2000 research reactor, completed in 1967. Uranium irradiated in this reactor was used in North Korea's first plutonium separation experiments in 1975. Nevertheless, the primary purpose of the reactor is not to produce plutonium and North Korea has had trouble acquiring enough fuel for constant operation. The U.S. Department of Energy estimated that this reactor could have been used to produce up to 1–2 kg of plutonium, though the Joint Atomic Energy Intelligence Committee said that the amount was no more than a few hundred grams
Operational or successfully tested
Hwasong-5 – initial Scud modification. Road-mobile, liquid-fueled missile, with an estimated range of 330 km. It has been tested successfully. It is believed that North Korea has deployed some 150–200 such missiles on mobile launchers.
Hwasong-6 – later Scud modification. Similar to the Hwasong-5, yet with an increased range (550–700 km) and a smaller warhead (600–750 kg). Apparently this is the most widely deployed North Korean missile, with at least 400 missiles in use.
Range is estimated to be between 1,300 and 1,600 km.
Hwasong-9 is also known as Scud-ER in rest of the world is further development of Hwasong-6 with range of (1000–1000+ km) and is capable of hitting Japan.
Hwasong-11 – a short-range, solid-fueled, highly accurate mobile missile, modified copy of the Soviet OTR-21. Unknown number in service, apparently deployed either in the late 1990s or early 2000s (decade).
Hwasong-14 – Also known as the KN-20, a long-range, road transportable ICBM, https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jul/04/north-korea-launches-ballistic-missile-japans-defence-ministry-says
John Schilling estimates the current accuracy of the North's Hwasong-14 as poor at the mooted ranges which threaten US cities (which would require more testing to prove its accuracy). Michael Elleman has pointed out that the NHK video[223] which captured the descent of the reentry vehicle (RV) shows its failure to survive reentry. If the RV had survived reentry, the video would have shown a bright image all the way to impact in the sea. However a recent CIA assessment notes that North Korea's ICBM reentry vehicles would likely perform adequately if flown on a normal trajectory to continental U.S. targets.
Hwasong-15 – 13,000 km range, successfully tested on November 28, 2017.
KN-23 - 700 km range, Successfully tested on May 4, 2019. Similar to 9K720 Iskander. Demonstrated range of 800 kilometers on September 15, 2021.
Untested
KN-08 – Road-mobile ICBM. Also called the Hwasong-13 (HS-13). Maximum range >5,500 km (3,400 miles). The US Defense Department estimates at least 6 KN-08 launchers are in deployment. A modified version, the KN-14, was unveiled at a parade marking the 70th anniversary of the Workers Party of Korea. The missile development was halted due to engine problems.G
