@dailymail: North Korea's latest ballistic missile launch was to demonstrate its advanced capability ahead of major joint military exercises by Seoul and Washington long denounced by Pyongyang, an analyst said. ’It could also be a move to showcase the cooperative relationship between Russia and North Korea by directly firing missiles in the Ukraine war,’ said Kim Yong-hyun, professor of North Korean studies at Dongguk University. He added there are no clear indications of North Korean missiles being used on a large scale in the Russia-Ukraine war. #northkorea #southkorea #usa #news
