North Korea fires 23 missiles in on day as the South hits back

North Korea fires its most missiles in a single day, as hostilities between the North and South continue to escalate.

The rogue nation fired at least 23 weapons, with one landing less than 60km off the South’s city of Sokcho.

Seoul responded with warplanes, firing three air-to-ground missiles across the long-disputed maritime boundary.

Pyongyang says recent military drills conducted by the U.S. and South Korea are to blame for its recent aggression.

In Japan, the nation’s government has commented on North Korea’s actions, after a potential ballistic missile landed just outside its Exclusive Economic Zone.

On Tuesday, Pyongyang warned South Korea and the U.S. will pay “the most horrible price in history” if they continue their joint drills.

This has been viewed as a ‘veiled threat’ on the path to using nuclear weapons.

Despite ongoing sanctions, North Korea has conducted six nuclear tests between 2006 and 2017.

There are now rumours the country is planning a seventh.

The North is continuing to advance its military capabilities, threatening its neighbours and even mainland America.

China and the U.S. now caught up in a deadly game

Published

As the U.S. and Chinese defence bosses spoke in Beijing, many in the room realised one thing – the two are far from ready to talk.

 
A thinly veiled criticism of the United States was delivered by Chinese Defence Minister General Li Shangfu.

In his first public statement to an international audience since becoming defence minister in March, Li highlighted China’s Global Security Initiative, a set of foreign policy principles and directions in line with Beijing’s style of diplomacy, which was announced in April last year by Chinese President Xi Jinping.

“It practises exceptionalism and double standards and only serves the interests and follows the rules of a small number of countries,” he told Asia’s biggest defence conference.

Among them are opposition to unilateral sanctions and economic development as a means of stemming instability and conflict.

“Its so-called rules-based international order never tells you what the rules are, and who made these rules,” Li said in a speech to the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, without naming the US or its partners.
