JAKARTA - It's not just South Korea and Japan that should be worried about the trials of North Korea's ballistic missiles repeatedly. The cruise power of the missile can indeed reach any area on the face of this earth.

Quoted from Channel News Asia, Tuesday, December 20, in March and November, North Korea sent ballistic missiles flying more than 6,000 km into space. High-flying routes show weapons designed to hit other continents.

Pyongyang has also carried out a test-fire of at least three medium-range ballistic missiles (IRBMs) over Japan, including flights 4 October where missiles may be variants of medium-range Hwasong-12 land about 3,200 km outside Japan in the Pacific. Sea.

Kim Jong-un seems to be excited to demonstrate some of their ballistic missile key technology.

But analysts say North Korea's testing busyness suggests it is a guided-missile that can be used in war, and is not so interested in releasing it.

North Korea says its ballistic missile development is a legitimate exercise of its rights as a sovereign nation to defend against external threats, including hostile US policies.

He said he rejected UN Security Council resolutions prohibiting missile and nuclear programs as a violation of his sovereign rights. He also said he had the right to space exploration as a sovereign nation.

"Now we will be able to do so, while backing up ICBM and its thermonuclear bombs to prevent the United States from taking retaliation against North Korea," he said.
