North Korea launched ballistic missiles into the sea on Sunday, escalating tensions with Iran and potential summits with the United States and South Korea. Pyongyang’s rampant missile activity – this was the fourth launch this month and the seventh of the year – is intended to demonstrate its self-defense capabilities while garnering international leverage, according to some experts.
Former South Korean presidential security adviser Kim Ki-jung suggested that missile launches may demonstrate the country’s self-defense capability, in contrast to Iran.”The North appears to be exerting preemptive pressure and making a show of force before engaging in dialogue with the US and South Korea,” he added.
