North Korea has performed a series of hypersonic missile tests since 2021 in an apparent effort to acquire the ability to penetrate its rivals’ missile defence shields. Foreign experts question whether the missiles have achieved their desired speed and manoeuvrability during the test flights.
North Korea says it is responding to balloons launched by South Korean activists that carried political leaflets into the North. On June 9, South Korea briefly conducted propaganda broadcasts from loudspeakers along the border for the first time in years in response to the North Korean balloons. South Korea’s military said Monday it is ready to turn on its loudspeakers again.
The aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt arrived in South Korea on Saturday, and North Korean Vice Defence Minister Kim Kang Il on Monday called its deployment “reckless” and “dangerous.” North Korea has previously described major U.S.-South Korean drills as invasion rehearsals and has reacted with missile tests.South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol visited the vessel on Tuesday, becoming the first sitting South Korean president to board a U.S. aircraft carrier since 1994.
