On the morning of March 18, 2024, North Korea tested a short-range ballistic missile on its east coast with the intention of intimidating South Korea and the United States.
Japan conducted two simultaneous missile tests on March 18, 2024, at 7:44 a.m., and another missile test three hours later. Japan is in trouble as a result of North Korea's regular missile launches off its coast.
North Korea's missile launches occur between the Korean Peninsula and the Sea of Japan. All of this is taking place outside of the Japanese economy.
Fumio Kishida, the prime minister of Japan, stated in parliament that this did not affect Japan. He did not, however, state that the peace and security of the nation were in jeopardy as a result of North Korea's tests. In the interim, the UN denounced the breach of the Security Council resolution with great force. The military of South Korea reported that it has discovered several missile launches by North Korea this morning.
Additionally, the peace on the Korean Peninsula is allegedly threatened by it. The military of South Korea has likewise said that, with US assistance, it is prepared to take on any task. According to reports, missiles capable of hitting and destroying targets at a range of 300 to 350 km at a speed of 50 km/h have been tested. Notably, the 11-day joint military drill between the United States and South Korea concluded last Thursday.
