North Korean leader Kim Jong Un supervised a drill simulating an attack on South, a day after Seoul detected the North firing at least one short-range ballistic missile toward the sea.
Kim Jong Un's sister has vowed North Korea will be successful in its efforts to launch a spy satellite - after its most recent attempt ended in failure. Sky News
Japan’s military has said that it will destroy any North Korean missile that violates its territory and is making preparations to do so after Kim Jong-un’s regime told Tokyo that it plans to launch a satellite between 31 May and 11 June. It has also put its missile defense on high alert. This stern warning has come after a notice from North Korean waterway authorities informed Japan's coast guard that the rocket could affect the waters in the Yellow Sea, East China Sea and east of the Philippines' Luzon Island. Experts believe that the launch of the military satellite is North Korea's attempt to boost its surveillance and attack its enemy with more precision if conflict breaks out. Earlier this month, North Korea had said that it has completed work on its first spy satellite, and it is now ready for launch. Japan’s defense ministry said in a statement: "We will take destructive measures against ballistic and other missiles that are confirmed to land in our territory." The ministry said it would use its Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) or Patriot Missile to destroy any such North Korean rocket or missile. Japan has urged North Korea to refrain from the launch.

The South Korean and U.S. militaries have conducted large live-fire drills near the border with North Korea despite the North’s warning that it won’t tolerate what it calls an invasion rehearsal on its doorstep. About 2,500 troops from both nations took part as the five-day exercise began yesterday. This is their largest-ever joint live-fire exercise simulating a "full-scale attack" from North Korea. Apart from the infantry regiments, multiple tanks, howitzers and fighter jets were also involved. The exercise demonstrated the military capabilities of both countries and readiness to strongly respond to North Korea’s nuclear and missile threats and to a full-scale attack. The drills which are part of the first of five rounds of live-fire exercises up to mid-June, mark 70 years since the establishment of the military alliance between Seoul and Washington. The U.S.-South Korean firing exercises, called "Combined annihilation firepower drills," are the biggest of their kind. They have been held 11 times since they first began in 1977. The drills simulated artillery and aerial strikes on front-line North Korean military facilities in response to an attack. The troops later practiced precision-guided attacks on simulated targets in the rear areas to "completely annihilate" North Korean military threats.

North Korea reportedly launched a
new type of ballistic missile on April 13. .
'The Guardian' reports that Japan's emergency
broadcasting system warned the people of Hokkaido
to take cover because the missile was headed their way.
But the evacuation warning was lifted shortly after due to the system "erroneously" predicting that
the missile would reach the island.
According to Japan's coast guard, the missile fell into the sea east of North Korea.
The Biden administration said it
"strongly condemns" North Korea's actions.
The door has not closed on diplomacy, but Pyongyang must immediately cease its destabilizing actions and instead choose diplomatic engagement, Adrienne Watson, National Security Council spokesperson, via statement.
'The Guardian' reports that North Korea's missile test comes days after Kim Jong-un said that the country should strengthen its war capabilities in a "more practical and offensive manner" to combat U.S. "aggression.".

The country claims to be ramping up its defense systems in response to joint U.S.-South Korea military exercises.
Pyongyang’s provocations continue past its protest of U.S.-South Korea defense exercises because Kim Jong-un hasn’t finished demonstrating his nuclear delivery capabilities yet, Leif-Eric Easley, a professor at Ewha University in Seoul, via 'The Guardian'
