Defining the News
SEOUL – North Korea has deployed 250 ballistic missile launchers to its southern border, with leader Kim Jong Un describing the weapons as a “powerful treasured sword” to defend its sovereignty, state media said Monday.
Each launcher was designed to hold four missiles, Han said, adding that Pyongyang’s supply of arms to Moscow might have “interfered with the North’s capacity to actually produce 1,000 missiles.” Kim noted that presenting the new weapons at a time when the country was reeling from flood damage was a “manifestation of the firm will of our Party to push ahead with the bolstering of defense capabilities.”
It claimed North Korea’s Air Force rescued over 5,000 people, with around 4,200 of them saved by helicopter “within a few hours.” Producing such a large number of weapons and displaying them together indicates the event had been “planned months in advance”, Hong Min, a senior analyst at the Korea Institute for National Unification, told AFP.
