North Korean leader Kim Jong Un watches a surface-to-sea missile test. (February 14) and visited a large munitions factory. Along with an order to speed up weapons production for a further increase.
Earlier, the South Korean military said that North Korea fired several cruise missiles off the country's east coast. This is the latest round of weapons tests taking place just weeks before South Korea's general elections in April.
Leader Kim was quoted by the KCNA news agency as saying that South Korea was “violating” North Korea's sovereignty by asserting territory along the Northern Border Line (NLL), the maritime border between the two Koreas.
Kim ordered the army to enhance military preparedness in the waters north of Yeonpyeong Island and west of the Korean Peninsula. It is an NLL area
“It doesn't matter who draws the number of lines in the West Korean Sea. But if the enemy invades the maritime area that we control, it is considered a violation of North Korea's sovereignty. It is an armed provocation,” Kim said.
The Northern Limit Line is a demarcation line in the Yellow Sea that remains disputed between North and South Korea. It was imposed unilaterally by United Nations forces led by the United States. It has not been officially adopted by North Korea.
As for the new missile that North Korea tested, called Badasuri-6 or Sea Eagle-6, the test results showed that the missile crossed the sea and hit a precisely defined target, according to the Korean Central News Agency.
Leader Kim also visited a large munitions factory in North Korea. And listen to details about the development of modern production processes
Kim reminded that the factory plays an important role in strengthening the North's army. He was also assigned various tasks such as improving the quality of ammunition. And increase production capacity in line with the changing situation
The United States and its allies accuse North Korea of selling weapons to Russia. Last month, the White House released intelligence that said the Russian military used North Korean short-range ballistic missiles (SRBMs) to fight in Ukraine.
