North Korea probably tried a ballistic missile again. The Japanese are on the alert.
Unmanned submarine test that creates 'radioactive tsunami' from North Korea
North Korea tested unmanned submarine that created a 'radioactive tsunami'. State news agency KCNA announced that the weapon, which was stated to be "developed against major ports and the enemy's naval communications force", was lowered into the waters of South Hamgyong province.
KCNA reported that the unmanned submarine, which had been cruising for more than 59 hours at a depth of 80 to 150 meters, was detonated off the east coast of this state.
The unmanned submarine called “Haeil” means tidal waves or tsunami in Korean.
They see it as a threat
While Western military experts have expressed their reservations about seeing the unmanned submarine as a major threat, the new test is also considered as a new sign of North Korea's commitment to nuclear proliferation.
Meanwhile, state news agency KCNA reported that this latest attempt by Pyonyang is aimed at "warning the United States and South Korea of an impending nuclear crisis against deliberate, persistent and provocative war exercises."
North Korea reacts harshly to joint exercises
North Korea has been reacting harshly to the air exercises jointly organized by South Korea and the USA recently.
The North Korean administration announced last week that it launched the intercontinental ballistic "Hwasong-17" missile to "instill fear in the enemies" after South Korea's rapprochement with Japan and joint exercises with the United States.
It was reported that the missile launched by North Korea reached an altitude of 6 thousand 45 kilometers and traveled a thousand kilometers before falling into the waters off the east coast of the country.
North Korea fired a second ballistic missile in 24 hours. It is said that the missile is ICBM or IRBM.
A U.S. Air Force B-1B Lancer bomber joined South Korea F-15K Slam Eagles for live munitions & close air support training at Osan Air Base in an event “designed to enhance the interoperability, lethality, & readiness of U.S. & ROK air forces… testing combined precision strike capabilities.” This is the first time the B-1B has conducted a live munitions drop on the Korean peninsula since 2017.

Preparations for war also began on the Korean Peninsula.
North Korea and Russia have signed a mutual defense pact. Therefore, the Russians have officially become a party to the war in the Korean Peninsula, the war in North Korea and the war in Ukraine. If the conflicts on both sides escalate, things could get interesting.
It is still early for this. The parties are still measuring the determination of the other party. However, if we see moves that connect different continents on a scale similar to the North Korea-Russia defense agreement or if there is a large-scale destruction in China-EU/China-US economic relations, we can say that serious preparations have begun. Still, it is useful to remember that those days are very close and that small-scale conflicts that may arise between the parties will rapidly increase escalation.
