Over the weekend, North Korea successfully tested its new long-range missiles. It was their first long-range cruise missile with nuclear compatibility, a report by state media.

 

Such missiles are of great importance. They can fly up to 930 miles before they hit their targeted region. The North Korea test was set to go and fall in the water. The test took place on both Saturday and Sunday.

 

A stalled talk from 2019 is about to start between the North Korean and US government. The weekend test showed positive progress of Pyongyang’s weapons. It showed its way towards dismantling the ballistic missile and nuclear programs.

 

A senior US-based Carnegie Endowment, Mr. Ankit Panda said the missile would be their first weapon to be designated for a strategic role. It is a usual euphemism for a strong nuclear system with massive capabilities. Most people said they are not sure if the North Korean scientist had mastered the technology for building the same warheads. The warheads are carried along with the cruise missiles when going to destruct a place. Kim Jong Un, the Korean leader promised that this is their goal until the end of the year.

 

Analyst and scientists are afraid of how the South and North Korea will become locked powerful nations with their new missiles. South Korea declared that they were in talks with the US for cooperation. But they did not disclose if they were aware of the test done by North Korea.

 

In 2017, North Korea launched another missile but passed through Japan before hitting the targeted area. However, Katsunobu Kato, the Japanese Cabinet Secretary said that the weekend missiles did not pass through their nation. He also showed some fear by declaring that it would be dangerous if the missiles can fly far in North Korea. US, Japan, and South Korea have promised to work together to track and control the military activities of the North Koreans.

 

The KNCA on the other hand defended his nation. He said the test was just important for their internal and external security matters. It was their reliable means of defending themselves.

 

In March North Korea rested a short mile ballistic missile. After Joe Biden took over as a president, the Korean launched another cruise mile test. Nations have condemned the fact that North Korea is focusing on deploying missiles rather than fighting the pandemic.

 

The analysts concluded that the military parade in North Korea was for diplomatic negotiation only.  The country said its focusing on domestic protection over external diplomatic roles. The weekend missiles test was also done before the US, North Korea, South Korea and Japan had met for discussion over powerful weapons.

 

The foreign ministry from Chia has planned a meeting with the North Korean for some minor talks. The test seems to have disrupted many things as planned by other nations. The US envoy Ki will change his focus from offering humanitarian effort to planning on sanction enforcement.

 

The Koreans wanted to collaborate and the negotiation was on the way until the South Korean US military started in August. The North Korean stopped taking about their calls.
