North Korea has officially transferred 250 new tactical ballistic missile launchers to its military units stationed along the border with South Korea, a move led by Kim Jong Un, who described the launchers as enhancing frontline firepower. The state media emphasized that these launchers, capable of firing lower-yield nuclear weapons, reflect North Korea's intent to bolster its military capabilities amid increasing tensions with the US and South Korea. Kim's remarks suggested a readiness for confrontation, asserting that the launchers could be used to threaten South Korea directly. Meanwhile, South Korea has resumed propaganda campaigns against the North, amplifying tensions between the two nations, which remain technically at war. Analysts view this military escalation as part of Kim's strategy to pressure the US regarding sanctions and recognition of North Korea's nuclear status. As North Korea continues to develop its military arsenal, the US, South Korea, and Japan are enhancing their joint military exercises in response.
