It's almost become normal for North Korea to fire missiles. Hardly a week goes by without a weapons test in the internationally totally isolated and ostracized country.
► Most recent example: On Thursday, Kim launched the Hwasong-17, dubbed the “monster rocket” by experts. North Korea's ruler and his daughter allegedly attended the shooting down.
The test was a response to the current "provocative and aggressive" joint US-South Korean military exercises. It is "a heightened warning to enemies who are deliberately stoking tensions on the Korean peninsula," reports North Korea.
“We may now be experiencing what has been wanted to prevent for years: an arms race in East Asia with an uncertain outcome. The trigger is ultimately the Russian attack on Ukraine,” Prof. Rüdiger Frank, director of the Center for North Korean Studies at the University of Vienna, told BILD.
