North Korean leader Kim Jong Un may try to “raise his authority” by using new warheads.
North Korea may conduct a nuclear test after or before the US presidential election. This was said by the head of the South Korean Ministry of Defense, Shin Won Shik, Yonhap wrote on Tuesday, July 30.
According to the minister, North Korea has completed preparations for a nuclear test and is ready to conduct it after making an appropriate decision. Schick did not rule out that Pyongyang could use nuclear provocations to “influence” the new US president’s North Korea policy.
“We cannot rule out the possibility that this decisive moment will occur immediately before or after the US presidential election to increase its influence on US policy,” said the head of the South Korean Defense Ministry.
South Korea, Japan and the United States regularly strengthen trilateral cooperation against North Korean threats. A system for exchanging warning data about North Korea’s missile launches has been launched.
Let’s remember that the alliance between South Korea and the United States has been upgraded to the nuclear level, capable of containing any nuclear threats from North Korea.
On July 1, North Korea said it had successfully tested a new tactical ballistic missile called the Hwasongpho-11 Da-4.5, which is capable of carrying an ultra-large warhead.
