A destroyer A United States guided missile mission visited the South Korean city of Jeju in the south of the country this week, in a fresh show of force in the midst of rising tensions with North Korea, according to local media reports this Sunday.

Warning for North Korea

The passage of this new US strategic facility through the Korean Peninsula looks destined to be another show of military might and a warning to North Korea.

Pyongyang strongly protests the movement of missile and other weapons testing assets to the peninsula, as well as the joint maneuvers by Washington and Seoul, which, in its opinion, are the cause of ongoing tension in the region.

Just today, a senior North Korean foreign ministry official accused the allies of raising tensions “to extremely dangerous levels” and urged the UN to call for an immediate halt to the exercise, which the regime will see as “the first step towards promoting sustainable détente.”

USA The US and South Korea are gearing up for more than ten days of 13 large-scale maneuvers that the North Korean regime routinely responds to with weapons tests that it sees as a threat to its sovereignty.
