South Korea and the United States fired eight surface-to-surface missiles in proportion to North Korea’s eight short-range ballistic missile provocations on the 6th.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff announced that in response to North Korea’s provocation of a short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) the previous day, a total of eight combined surface-to-surface missile ATACMS (ATACMS) had been fired into the East Sea for about 10 minutes from 4:45 a.m. on the same day.
It is known that seven missiles were fired from one side and one from the US side.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff said, “The joint South Korea-U.S. surface-to-surface missile firing demonstrated that North Korea has the ability and readiness to strike with precision immediately and precisely against the origin of the provocation and the command and support forces, while maintaining a constant monitoring posture even if North Korea provokes missiles at multiple locations. “he explained.
“The South Korean military strongly condemns North Korea’s successive ballistic missile provocations and strongly urges the immediate cessation of actions that escalate military tensions and aggravate security instability on the Korean Peninsula,” the Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement.
