Last week North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ordered his troops to be ready to repel what he called the \u201cfrantic war preparations moves\u201d by the country\u2019s rivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Monday, North Korea said it had test-fired two cruise missiles from a submarine, the first time it is known to have conducted a launch of that type. Its previous underwater launches all involved ballistic missiles. It was also the first time North Korea fired multiple missiles from a submarine in a single launch event, observers said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The North implied the cruise missiles were being developed to carry nuclear warheads and claimed that the latest test verified the posture of the country\u2019s \u201cnuclear war deterrence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">North Korea acquiring submarine-launched missile systems is an alarming development for the United States and South Korea because launches would be harder to detect and it would provide the North retaliatory second attack capability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Experts say it would take years, extensive resources and major technological improvements for the heavily sanctioned nation to build a fleet of several submarines that could travel quietly and reliably execute strikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S.-South Korean joint exercises that started Monday are the largest in years and and included a computer-simulated command post training. The drills are designed to sharpen the allies\u2019 response to North Korea\u2019s growing nuclear threat and other changing security environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The countries have been expanding their drills since last year as North Korea test-fired more than 70 missiles in 2022. Those included intercontinental ballistic missiles with the potential range to reach the U.S. mainland and short-range, nuclear-capable missiles that could target South Korea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The launch came a day after the U.S. and South Korean militaries began their largest joint field exercises in years on
