North Korea Missile Tests: A Full Timeline of The Nation's Militant History

North Korea Missile Tests: North Korea’s military has announced that its recent series of missile tests were carried out as practice for attacking South Korean and American military targets.

The announcement comes amid strong condemnation from the US and South Korea, who have both accused Pyongyang of provocative behavior.

North Korea’s military said that the missile tests were designed to show their resolve to counter the US-South Korean military drills, which they view as threatening.

The statement also said that the tests were a response to the “provocative” deployment of American strategic assets in the region. These latest developments serve as a reminder of the continued tensions on the Korean Peninsula, and the need for all parties to work towards a peaceful resolution.

North Korea has long claimed that its missile tests are part of a peaceful effort to develop its weapons program and protect the country from outside aggression.

But a new analysis by the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) suggests that North Korea’s missiles are more than just defensive tools – they’re also being used to practice for attacks on South Korea and the United States.

According to the CSIS report, North Korea has carried out at least 89 missile tests since 2006, and many of those tests appear to have been designed to simulate an attack on Seoul or Washington.

“These findings indicate that Pyongyang is using its missile program not only to ensure regime survival but also to prepare for military action against the United States and South Korea,” the report said.

The CSIS analysis is based on publicly available data, including satellite images and news reports. It is the latest in a series of studies that have cast doubt on North Korea’s claim that its nuclear and missile programs are purely defensive in nature.
