Two days ago, the North Korean side conducted a cruise missile launch training in the Yellow Sea. Two cruise missiles flew along the predetermined route over the Yellow Sea for 10,199 seconds and 10,201 seconds respectively before hitting their targets. It can be inferred that the range of this land-based cruise missile could reach 2,000 kilometers. Moreover, from the photos released by the North Korean side, it can be seen that this cruise missile has high precision and can penetrate windows to destroy its target.
Since the North Korean side refers to this cruise missile as a strategic weapon, it is highly likely that it carries a nuclear warhead. A range of 2,000 kilometers indicates that this cruise missile is mainly aimed at Japan and U.S. military forces stationed in Japan.
As the end of the year approaches, the North Korean side has frequently shown off its military strength, testing new air defense missiles, cruise missiles, showcasing large numbers of ballistic missiles under production, and strategic missile submarines under construction, prompting the U.S., Japan, and South Korea to re-evaluate the military strength of the North Korean side.
