It said South Korea maintains a firm <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/joint-chiefs-of-staff-south-korea-north-pyongyang-213c15e68a41ff39ee33e522766a7f01\">military readiness in close coordination with the United States<\/a> amid boosted surveillance on North Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/news\/your-military\/2022\/06\/06\/us-s-korea-fire-missiles-to-sea-matching-norths-launches\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22157116982873.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">US, SKorea fire missiles to sea, matching North\u2019s launches<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The U.S. and South Korean militaries launched eight ballistic missiles into the sea Monday in a show of force matching a North Korean missile display a day earlier.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During a national security council meeting convened to discuss the suspected launches, South Korean officials expressed concern that North Korea is upgrading weapons systems that pose a direct threat to South Korea and reaffirmed they would sternly deal with such North Korean efforts, according to South Korea\u2019s presidential office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The North\u2019s artillery tests draw less outside attention than its missile launches. But its forward-deployed long-range artillery guns are a serious security threat to South Korea\u2019s populous metropolitan region, which is only 40-50 kilometers (25-30 miles) from the border with North Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The suspected artillery launches were the latest in a spate of weapons tests by North Korea this year in what foreign experts call an attempt to pressure its rivals Washington and Seoul to relax international sanctions against Pyongyang and make other concessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">South Korean and U.S. officials recently said North Korea had almost completed preparations for its first nuclear test in about five years. In March, North Korea test-launched an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of reaching the mainland U.S. in breach of a 2018 moratorium on big missile tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a speech at a ruling party meeting last week, Kim underscored the need to strengthen his country\u2019s military capability, saying the current security environment is \u201cvery serious.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kim\u2019s speech carried by state media didn\u2019t mention the United States or South Korea. But he still set forth \u201cmilitant tasks\u201d to be pursued by his armed forces and scientists, a suggestion that he would press ahead with his high-profile arms buildup plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A possible new nuclear test by North Korea would be the seventh of its kind. Some experts say North Korea will likely use the test to build warheads to be mounted on tactical nuclear weapons aimed at hitting targets in South Korea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The suspected artillery launches were the latest in a spate of weapons tests by North Korea this
