South Korea\u2019s military suggested North Korea\u2019s midair missile explosion last Wednesday involved parts of the Hwasong-17 missile, its biggest weapon.<\/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\/flashpoints\/2022\/03\/15\/us-forces-step-up-readiness-after-surge-in-north-korean-missile-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=\"198\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22058054045275.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 forces step up readiness after surge in North Korean missile launches<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Following North Korea&#039;s experimental ICBM launches, U.S. forces began Patriot battery training.<\/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\">On Sunday, South Korea\u2019s Defense Ministry said it detected firings likely from multiple rocket launch systems off North Korea\u2019s west coast. The ministry said the military closely monitors North Korean moves and maintains its readiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">South Korea\u2019s presidential office said in a separate statement it held an emergency national security council meeting to discuss what it called the North\u2019s \u201cshort-range projectile launches.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Council members worked to analyze details of the firings in close coordination with the United States, it said. The statement added that South Korea will use its enhanced military capability and its alliance with the U.S. to prevent a security vacuum from occurring during a power transition period in Seoul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President Moon Jae-in\u2019s single five-year term ends in May and he will be replaced by a new conservative government led by Yoon Suk Yeol. A former top prosecutor, Yoon has vowed to boost Seoul\u2019s military alliance with Washington and win a stronger U.S. security commitment to neutralize growing North Korean nuclear threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wednesday\u2019s failed missile firing was the North\u2019s 10th weapons launch this year. The U.S. and South Korean militaries said they concluded that two of North Korea\u2019s recent launches before Wednesday\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/2022\/03\/10\/north-korea-testing-new-icbms-us-says-warns-more-coming\/\" target=\"_blank\">were meant to test a Hwasong-17 system<\/a>. North Korea later said those launches were designed to test cameras and other systems <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/industry\/techwatch\/2022\/02\/28\/north-korea-says-it-tested-cameras-for-spy-satellite\/\" target=\"_blank\">for a spy satellite<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some outside experts say North Korea will likely fire a Hwasong-17 rocket to test its long-range missile technology and also to put its first functioning spy satellite into orbit. The Hwasong-17\u2032s potential maximum range of 15,000 kilometers (9,320 miles) would place the entire U.S. mainland within its striking distance, and its huge size suggests it can carry a bigger payload or multiple nuclear warheads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Hwasong-17 launch, if made, would be the North\u2019s most serious provocation since the country carried out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/space\/2017\/07\/05\/pentagon-confirms-north-korea-launch-was-icbm\/\" target=\"_blank\">three intercontinental ballistic missile tests in 2017<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The South Korean government didn\u2019t immediately disclose where Sunday\u2019s weapons firings occurred. The Koreas\u2019 poorly marked western sea boundary saw naval clashes in 1999, 2002 and 2009. Attacks blamed on North Korea in the area in 2010 killed 50 South Koreans \u2014 46 on a warship and four on a border island.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Sunday, South
