SEOUL: North Korea's military said on Monday its recent barrage of missile tests were practices to 'mercilessly' strike key South Korean and US targets such as air bases and operation command systems with a variety of missiles that are likely nuclear-capable. The North's announcement underscored leader Kim Jong Un's determination not to back down in the face of his rivals' push to expand their military exercises.
Spokesperson Kim Jun-rak said South Korea didn't detect the North's cruise missile launches and that it's also notable that North Korea didn't mention what Seoul assessed as an abnormal flight by an ICBM. This year's 'Vigilant Storm' air force drills between the United States and South Korea were the largest-ever for the annual fall maneuvers. The drills involved 240 warplanes including advanced F-35 fighter jets from both countries.
