N Korea fires 3 short-range ballistic missiles amid tensions over drone flights

South Korea's military on Monday scrambled warplanes and helicopters, but they failed to shoot down any of the North Korean drones before they flew back home or vanished from South Korean radar.

Well, what to say? What about this US war mongering alliance stop their war mongering until they are actually prepared for war?

Well, what to say?

Why don't you ask Kim Jong-nam?

Little Rocket Man and his rat-sister at it again. Hopefully this is a sign of internal unrest in that hell-hole nation.

On Friday, South Korea launched a solid-fueled rocket, a type of a space launch vehicle that it plans to use to put its first spy satellite into orbit in coming years.

This is actually an MRBM in disguise, as it was capable of lifting a 1-ton payload at 400 km altitude orbit. At normal angle, it should cover a range of 5,000 km, practically all of China and Japan.

It was a rare occasion that an ROK ballistic missile launch was seen in public, because while the ROK launches more ballistic missiles than North Korea does each year, both as ballistic missiles and as target missiles for Korea's missile defense interceptors(KAMD M-SAM and L-SAM interceptors need targets to test interception), they are never reported by press. This one was reported because it was seen by public and its video posted on Youtube and Social Media. Maybe they launched it close to DMZ to let North Koreans see it, because its launch was spotted as far back as in Russia.

Little kim HANABI, he must be getting ready to celebrate 2023 his style,

Well, did shooting off some rockets relieve your tensions, comrade Kim? There are other ways, you know...

I really wish the news would include an estimated cost for each missile lauch, and a running tally throughout the year so the entire world can see how much money Kim is spending on his fireworks.

Rocket man going out with a bang.

When all NK has is Missiles that’s the way to celebrate New Year with fireworks

Someone really needs to tell this Guy to "Chill-out" . Perhaps even, a lot of good would come his way if he adopted a more reasonable approach to Life and towards all those around him.

Somebody needs to ban this idiot.

Can't control aggressive neighbors with bad intentions.

What we can do is get Japan ready and prepared for the worse possible events.

Just like an Earthquake or a Tsunami, aggressive neighbors is another part of life for Japan.

Japan at it's best can deal with Korean aggression and stupidity.

Happy New Year Fireworks

South Korea/Seoul can be hit by millions upon millions of cheap artillery shells and cheap drones which you S.Koreans can't detect or shoot down! Huge humiliation for S. Korea this past week by missing multiple cheap N.Korean drones, S. Korean military and government had to apologies in shame and humiliation! You forgot to mention that part dear friend.

N.Korea has very few expensive ballistic missiles that can actually reach Japan. Threats to half of S. Korea is 10000x bigger. Squid Games of fear mongering at Japan's doorsteps is not gonna work. S. Korea is the one North Korea wants to attack and take over again, not Japan.
