North Korean leader Kim Jong-un oversaw a live-fire drill featuring nuclear-capable rockets aimed at South Korea’s capital, asserting readiness amid heightened confrontations. The exercise followed recent missile launches toward the eastern coast. The tested “super-large” rockets can blur the line between artillery and missiles, potentially carrying tactical nuclear warheads. Kim emphasized their role in deterring enemies and targeting Seoul. South Korea identified the launches as ballistic missiles. Amid escalating tensions, concerns grow over North Korea’s intentions, especially in light of Kim’s recent abandonment of reconciliation efforts with the South.
