Seoul – ‘In today’s world where many countries waste time dealing with the United States with submission and blind obedience, there’s only our country on this planet that can shake the world by firing a missile with the US mainland in its range,’ North Korea threatened. North Korea has also claimed to possess hydrogen bombs, intercontinental ballistic missiles, hypersonic missiles alongside the missiles that hit the United States.
Moreover, North Korea’s Foreign Ministry unveiled information about its weapons preparedness on Tuesday. ‘There are more than 200 countries in the world, but only a few have hydrogen bombs, intercontinental ballistic missiles, and hypersonic missiles,’ having said this, North Korea claimed of possessing a dreadful arsenal of modern times. Moreover, the missile tests by North Korea conducted over the past month are remarkable, but the country wants to be more war-ready, the North Korean Foreign Ministry announced.
The US Department of State responded to this. ‘The DPRK (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) constitutes a threat to international peace and security and the global nonproliferation regime. The United States has a vital interest in deterring the DPRK, defending against its provocations or uses of force, limiting the reach of its most dangerous weapons programs, and above all keeping, the American people, our deployed forces, and our allies safe,’ the State Department warned.
Furthermore, North Korea tested missiles of various stages in seven rounds from January. North Korea had claimed that these included missiles from short-range to ballistic, as well as hypersonic missiles, too. Besides, the North Korean government had announced last week that it had tested a submarine-launched missile. Some of these missiles had collapsed near the marine area of Japan. The US had cancelled passenger-plane flights along its western coast following the launch of the Hwasong-12 missile. The US island of Guam in the Pacific Ocean is situated within the phase of the missile launched by North Korea for the first time since 2017. Consequently, the test of this missile had created tension for some time.
Meanwhile, news has surfaced that North Korea obtained funded the ongoing nuclear programme and missile tests from cyberattacks and stolen cryptocurrency. North Korean hackers have been accused of stealing and selling military secrets through cyberattacks. But China, a backer of North Korea, has demanded that the United States not impose sanctions on North Korea.
