North Korea's provocations towards the nations of the area continue, starting with South Korea and Japan, allies of the West.
The military leaders of Seoul in fact reported that the Pyongyang regime today launched three short-range ballistic missiles towards the Sea of Japan . This is the sixteenth ballistic test since the beginning of 2022, in violation of international agreements.
The new launch takes place two days after the inauguration of the new South Korean president Yoon Suk-yeol and on the same day that North Korea formalized an outbreak of Covid-19 , for the first time since the outbreak of the pandemic in early 2020.
In recent days, Pyongyang had ordered a hard lockdown to the population, without however officially giving reasons that the general lockdown was due to the coronavirus.
