Kim Jong Un's North Korea fires ballistic missile 'from submarine' and will be ready to test a nuclear bomb this month, US officials say

North Korea has continued its provocative weapons testing as it fired a ballistic missile most likely from a submarine earlier today, South Korea has said.

Seoul's Joint Chiefs of Staff said the launch took place in waters near the eastern port city of Sinpo, where North Korea has a major shipyard building submarines.

If confirmed, this would be just the latest in a series of missile tests by Pyongyang as US officials have warned Kim Jong Un is gearing up to test a nuclear weapon this month.

If the test goes ahead, it would be North Korea's first nuclear test in five years as the country continues to exploit the favourable environment while the UN Security Council is preoccupied with the war in Ukraine.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Seems new seamounts are just popping up all over the South China Sea.

Maybe one of Kim's boats will find one? :shrug: :whistle:

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
