With North Korea firing 8 missiles, Both US and South Korea did the same on the east coast of the Korean Peninsula.
According to the authorities, 7 missiles were fired by South Korea and 1 by the US.
South Korean Joint Chief Staff said, “even if North Korea provokes with missiles from multiple locations, South Korea and the US have the ability and readiness to immediately strike with precision.”
The Chiefs say that it was North Korea who first fired 8 missiles from multiple parts of the country into the Korean Peninsula.
They said, “These actions are a serious provocation that harms peace and stability of not only the Korean peninsula but also the international community.”
Missiles from both sides were just a show of force and aren’t directed at any specific target but into the vast ocean.
In the meanwhile, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida stated that North Korea’s test was a clear violation of UN resolutions and strongly protested against the action.
Now, The US, Japan, and South Korea seem to be in a joint defence exercise responding to North Korea’s missiles.
Anyway, Firing 16 missiles into the ocean just ruins the ocean and causes massive problems for both us and the sea life.
