Japanese Prime Minister <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/world\/japan-shigeru-ishiba-prime-minister-ldp-leadership-rcna172968\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shigeru Ishiba<\/a> said they landed in waters outside <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/world\/japan-government-flux-election-gives-no-party-majority-rcna177550\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Japan<\/a>\u2019s exclusive economic zone and there were no immediate reports of damage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The launches came days after North Korean leader <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/world\/kim-jong-un-sending-soldiers-russia-putin-brics-summit-rcna176754\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kim Jong Un<\/a> supervised a flight test of the country\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/world\/north-korea-launches-suspected-long-range-missile-days-us-election-rcna178143\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">newest intercontinental ballistic missile<\/a> designed to reach the U.S. mainland. In response to that launch, the United States flew a long-range B-1B bomber in a trilateral drill with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/world\/south-korea-prosecutors-drop-charges-first-lady-dior-handbag-rcna173769\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">South Korea<\/a> and Japan on Sunday in a show of force. That drew condemnation from Kim\u2019s powerful sister, Kim Yo Jong, who on Tuesday accused North Korea\u2019s rivals of raising tensions with \u201caggressive and adventuristic military threats.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">South Korean officials had said that North Korea was likely to dial up its military displays around the U.S. presidential election to command the attention of Washington. South Korea\u2019s military intelligence agency said last week that North Korea has also most likely completed preparations for its seventh nuclear test.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Outside officials and analysts say North Korea eventually hopes to use an expanded nuclear arsenal as leverage to win concessions such as sanctions relief after a new U.S. president is elected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">There are widespread views that Kim Jong Un would prefer a win by Republican candidate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/donald-trump\/trumps-enthusiastic-crowds-dwindle-elections-closing-days-rcna178672\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Donald Trump<\/a>, with whom he engaged in high-stakes nuclear diplomacy in 2018-19, seeing him as a more likely counterpart to give him what he wants than Democratic candidate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2024-election\/kamala-harris-make-appearance-saturday-night-live-rcna178494\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kamala Harris<\/a>. During campaigning, Harris said she would not \u201ccozy up to tyrants and dictators like Kim Jong Un who are rooting for Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">North Korea claimed last week that the Hwasong-19 it tested on Oct. 31 was \u201cthe world\u2019s strongest\u201d ICBM, but experts say the solid-fuel missile was too big to be useful in war. Experts say North Korea has yet to acquire some critical technologies to build a functioning ICBM, such as ensuring that the warhead survives the harsh conditions of atmospheric re-entry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Tensions between the Koreas are at their highest point in years as Kim has repeatedly flaunted his expanding nuclear weapon and missile programs, while reportedly\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/world\/why-north-korea-soldiers-fight-russia-ukraine-war-putin-kim-rcna177239\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">providing Russia with munitions and troops<\/a>\u00a0to support President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/world\/putin-pressures-georgia-moldova-elections-russia-west-rcna176761\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vladimir Putin<\/a>\u2019s war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">On Monday, U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller told reporters that as many as 10,000 North Korean soldiers were in Russia\u2019s Kursk region near Ukraine\u2019s border and were preparing to join Moscow\u2019s fight against Ukraine in the coming days. If they engage in combat, it would be North Korea\u2019s first participation in a large-scale conflict since the end of the 1950-53 Korean War.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">After a meeting in Seoul on Monday, senior South Korean and European Union officials expressed concerns about Russia\u2019s possible transfer of technology to North Korea to enhance its nuclear program in exchange for its troops. Such transfers would \u201cjeopardize the international non-proliferation efforts and threaten peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and across the globe,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">In response to North Korea\u2019s growing nuclear threat, South Korea, the United States and Japan have been expanding their combined military exercises and updating their nuclear deterrence plans built around U.S. strategic assets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">North Korea has portrayed the joint military drills by its rivals as rehearsals for an invasion and used them to justify its relentless pursuit of nuclear weapons and missiles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">At a U.N. Security Council meeting Monday, North Korea\u2019s ambassador, Kim Song, defended the North\u2019s nuclear and ICBM programs as essential for the country\u2019s self-defense and a necessary response to what it perceives as nuclear threats from the United States. He stressed that North Korea would accelerate the build-up of \u201cour nuclear force that can counter any threat presented by hostile nuclear weapon states.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">U.S. Deputy Ambassador Robert Wood warned that the U.S. cannot stand back from North Korea\u2019s expanding nuclear program and the growing threat to U.S. security \u201cwithout a response.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"endmark\">Wood also repeated last week\u2019s call for Russia to say whether there are North Korean troops on the ground in Russia. \u201cWe\u2019re not in a court here,\u201d Russian Deputy Ambassador Anna Evstigneeva replied, \u201cand the questions of the United States, in the spirit of an interrogation, is not something I intend to answer.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/world\/north-korea-fires-multiple-ballistic-missiles-sea-ahead-us-election-rcna178760\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SEOUL, South Korea \u2014 North Korea on Tuesday fired multiple short-range ballistic missiles toward its eastern sea, the South Korean military said, as the country continued its weapons demonstrations hours &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=122375\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-122375","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-world","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122375","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=122375"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122375\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=122375"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=122375"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=122375"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
