North Korea, capable of launching a retaliatory nuclear attack at any time, announced Kim's missile launch near Japan



 North Korea confirmed on Sunday that it had test-fired the Hwasong-15 intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) the previous day. According to a North Korean statement, North Korea carried out the test during a surprise launch exercise. The objective of the test was to demonstrate the country's capability to counter hostile forces. North Korea fired a long-range ballistic missile into the sea off Japan's west coast on Saturday afternoon after South Korea and the United States warned of a strong response to upcoming military drills.

In a separate statement on Sunday, Kim Yo Jong, sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, confirmed the missile test and warned the United States to be vigilant. The dictator's sister said the US is trying to misinform the UN Security Council about North Korea, which is nothing less than a hostile policy.

We watch the enemy's every move, can respond appropriately: Kim Yo Jong

Dictator's sister said I am warning that we will watch the enemy's every move and take appropriate and very strong and severe retaliation against his every hostile move.

South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said on Saturday that North Korea had fired a ballistic missile into the sea from its east coast. North Korea's move comes ahead of joint US-South Korea drills to be held in Washington next week. The Joint Chiefs of Staff said North Korea had fired an unidentified ballistic missile into the East Sea. Japan's coast guard also said North Korea had tested a ballistic missile, Al Jazeera reported.

This eastern sea is known as the Sea of Japan. The day before the launch, North Korea's foreign ministry threatened "unprecedented" action against South Korea. In December, North Korea fired two intermediate-range ballistic missiles into the East Sea, Yonhap news agency reported, citing the South Korean military.

Lol," she wrote. After the Grammys ceremony, Madonna hit back at the critics of her appearance, accusing them of "ageism and misogyny." She wrote on Instagram: "Instead of focusing on what I said in my speech which was about giving thanks for the fearlessness of artists like Sam and Kim- Many people chose to only talk about Close-up photos of me Taken w...

Diplomatic conflict in India amid Ukraine war

  The Ukraine war dominates the G20 foreign ministers' summit in New Delhi. Despite Prime Minister Modi's call for unity, tensions between the Western world and Russia show no signs of easing. Russia is desperately trying to capture the city of Bakhmut in an attempt to control eastern Ukraine. Despite heavy attacks, the Ukrainian army continues to resist. But whether it will be possible to withstand that pressure indefinitely, there are doubts within Ukraine. Member of Parliament of that country Sirhi Rakhmanin said that for now the aim is to harm the Russian forces as much as possible. According to him, either there is an organized retreat, or the struggle must continue. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his troops were in control of every sector of the battlefield. It should be noted that the conflict for the control of Bakhmut city has been going on for the last seven months. Ukraine is gaining prominence in the diplomatic arena as well as on the battlefield.
