North Korea Fires Submarine-Launched Missile Ahead of "Freedom Shield" Exercise

한미 자유의방패 연합연습 시작 北 반발, "잠수함서 전략순항미사일 발사" Today, South Korea and the U.S. kicked off their large-scale combined military exercise. And North Korea has earlier responded by firing what it calls "strategic cruise missiles" from a submarine. Our defense correspondent Kim Yeon-seung explains what that means. North Korea fired two submarine-launched missiles off the east coast of the Korean Peninsula, according to South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff on Monday morning. According to North Korea's state-run Korean Central News Agency, North Korea at dawn on Sunday fired two strategic cruise missiles from the "8.24 Yongung," or "Hero" submarine while conducting an underwater drill near the port city of Sinpo on the east coast. The news agency reported that the two missiles traveled in 1,500 kilometer orbits in a figure-eight shape, taking a little more than 7,560 seconds to directly hit their target. It touted the launch as a success. South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff are investigating to verify the claims. A military official said other than the fact there were two submarine-launched projectiles and their locations, North Korea's claims may not entirely be true. But if they are, this would be the first case of a submarine-launched cruise missile from North Korea. Experts say that submarine-launched strategic cruise missiles are concerning because they're challenging to detect and may be able to carry nuclear warheads. The North's claims also mean the missile could potentially reach as far as the U.S. army base in Japan's Okinawa. North Korea has recently ramped up its weapons tests in a clear show of protest against the Seoul-Washington joint war games. Starting from Monday, the allies are holding their largest live field training exercises in five years, code-named the "Freedom Shield." Since 2018, these exercises have been scaled back or called off, first to foster diplomacy with North Korea, and then to fend off COVID-19 infections. But now they're back, and for the longest-ever at 11 days. "We regret to see North Korea using our annual and defensive training as a pretext for provocation. We hope that North Korea sees that there's nothing to gain by escalating tensions on the Korean Peninsula." South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff also assured that despite North Korea's provocations, Freedom Shield will proceed as planned.
