SEOUL, March 16 — North Korea’s latest missile launches were a military drill designed to train crews to carry out their mission at any time and “annihilate the enemy” if necessary, the country’s state media KCNA said today.
The launch was a “demonstration drill” and saw two surface-to-surface tactical ballistic missiles fired from near the west coast in South Hwanghae province, flying some 611km over the country before hitting a target on a small island off the east coast, the KCNA report confirmed. The firing of the missiles come as the 11-day joint drills between South Korean and American forces, dubbed “Freedom Shield 23,” are under way, their largest joint military drills in years.
