It’s only been 4 weeks since the start of a new year and seven missiles have been launched

This is a record for North Korea and it’s alarming the international community.

Britain, France and Germany condemn North Korea and they’re urging it to comply with UN resolutions ahead of Security Council talks.

In a joint statement they say the tests interrupt regional as well as international peace and security.

“We strongly condemn these provocative actions, which undermine regional as well as international peace and security and are in clear violation of multiple unanimously adopted UN Security Council resolutions,”
the European powers said in a joint statement.

“We call on the DPRK (North Korea) to implement the decisions of the Security Council in full, to accept the repeated offers of dialogue put forward by the United States and to take concrete actions towards the complete, verifiable and irreversible dismantlement of its weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles programmes.”

The US requested an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council because North Korea launched its most powerful missile since 2017 this week.

Foreign ministries say that want North Korea to take concrete actions towards a complete shut-down of its weapons.

North Korea has ramped up its missile tests in recent months… with no sign of stopping.

It’s no secret that North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un wants to boost his country’s defences.

Foreign ministries say “Such activity is a matter of grave concern and will receive a united response,”

Its not just European leaders, with Japan, South Korea and the US all condemning missile actions too.

Now we know The United Nations already prohibits the country from conducting from ballistic and nuclear weapons tests, imposing strict sanctions.

But Kim Jong Un has ignored these warnings, as the North Korean economy struggles to prosper amid U-S-led sanctions, Covid-19 and mismanagement.

China deploys over 100 ICBMs near Mongolia amidst ongoing tensions and lack of arms control talks with the US

In Short:
– China has deployed over 100 ICBMs in new silos near Mongolia, marking significant nuclear expansion.
– Beijing aims to enhance military strategies for Taiwan by 2027, potentially affecting U.S. operations in the region.

China has deployed over 100 solid-fueled intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) in newly constructed silo fields near its border with Mongolia, according to a draft Pentagon report reviewed by Reuters.This marks the most significant nuclear expansion by Beijing to date. The United States indicates that China shows no intention of engaging in arms control negotiations, despite President Trump’s calls for denuclearization talks with both China and Russia.

The report states that the DF-31 missiles, which have a range of 7,000 to 11,700 kilometers, are positioned across three silo fields. While the Pentagon had previously acknowledged these fields, this is the first confirmation of the number of deployed missiles.

China’s nuclear warhead stockpile was estimated at around 600 in 2024. The report projects an increase to over 1,000 warheads by 2030. It highlights a lack of willingness from Beijing to pursue arms control measures.

Beijing has dismissed such reports as attempts to discredit China and claims that it follows a nuclear strategy of self-defense with a no-first-use policy.

Strategic Military Planning

The Pentagon assessment indicates that China plans to be capable of fighting and winning a conflict over Taiwan by 2027. Beijing is reportedly enhancing military strategies to capture the island through forceful means.

These military strikes could potentially disrupt U.S. operations in the Asia-Pacific region.

Neither the Pentagon nor China’s embassy in Washington responded to requests for comment. U.S. officials cautioned that the draft report could change before its formal submission to lawmakers.
