North Korea has fired two strategic cruise missiles from a submarine, in what is seen as a show of force before the US and South Korea began joint military exercises. The missile tests were reported by state media, and come just days after Kim Jong Un ordered his soldiers to intensify efforts to repel its rivals’ “frantic war preparation moves”. North Korea views military exercises between the US and South Korea as rehearsals for invasion, and argues that its nuclear weapons and missile programmes are necessary for self-defence. The latest drills are scheduled to continue for at least 10 days and will focus on the “changing security environment” amid North Korea’s increasing nuclear threats. Pyongyang has conducted a record number of missile tests in 2022, but some analysts have expressed caution, saying that the North Korean soldiers are poorly fed and are being ordered to help farmers address the country’s food shortage.
