North & South Korea Carry Out Ballistic Missiles Tests by HolinessForever: 7:54pm On Sep 15, 2021
BALLISTIC MISSILES: North Korea test-fires two ballistic missiles towards Japan just three days after testing a 'nuclear-capable' cruise missile and restarting nuclear reactor in defiance of Biden

North Korea has test-fired two ballistic missiles just days after firing a new kind of cruise missile with possible nuclear capabilities.

South Korea's military said the two missiles were fired from an unknown inland location before coming down somewhere near the east coast.

The move is likely designed as a provocation to Joe Biden and other world leaders, as ballistic missile tests violate UN resolutions on the North's weapons programme and are likely to trigger a diplomatic response.

Hours later South Korea’s presidential office said it conducted its first underwater-launched ballistic missile test on Wednesday afternoon. It said a domestically built missile fired from a 3,000-ton submarine flew a set distance before hitting a designated target.

The statement said the weapon is expected to help Seoul deter potential external threats, boost its self-defence and promote peace on the Korean peninsula.

It comes two weeks after Kim Jong Un restarted a nuclear reactor at Yongbyon which had been shut down during negotiations with Donald Trump.

Kim had shut down much of his nuclear programme and scuttled his main nuclear testing site during the negotiations, in which he hoped to convince Trump to lift crippling economic sanctions in return for permanently giving up his nukes.

The leaders met three times - an historic achievement for Kim, who was the first North Korean leader ever to meet with an American president - but the talks ultimately foundered with the two sides failing to reach an agreement.

Since then, North Korea has carried out a series of low-level missile tests in an attempt to force America back to the negotiating table.

Joe Biden has said he is willing to meet with Kim, but said the pre-condition of any such meeting would be a serious commitment to scrapping his nuclear arsenal.

'What I would not do is what has been done in the recent past,' Biden said back in May, referring to Trump's summits with Kim.

'I would not give him all he’s looking for, international recognition as legitimate, and give him what allowed him to move in a direction of appearing to be more serious about what he wasn’t at all serious about.'

Biden has since appointed South Korean ambassador Sung Kim as envoy to North Korea, who is working on establishing diplomatic links with a view to arranging a summit and ultimately to getting rid of North Korea's nukes.

It is unclear what the range of the missiles launched on Wednesday are, or whether they are of a new type.

North Korea typically test-fires its ballistic missiles on a steep trajectory, meaning they go up into the atmosphere before coming back down well short of their maximum range.


Japan's Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga called Wednesday's launch 'outrageous', saying it threatened peace and security in the region.

'North Korea fired two unidentified ballistic missiles from its central inland region toward the east coast, and intelligence authorities of South Korea and the United States are conducting detailed analysis for further information,' South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said.

The latest launch came as foreign ministers of South Korea and China held talks in Seoul amid concerns over North Korea's recent cruise missile test and the stalled denuclearisation negotiations between Pyongyang and Washington.

North Korea said it successfully tested a new long-range cruise missile at the weekend, calling it 'a strategic weapon of great significance.'

Kim's regime typically uses the phrase 'strategic weapon' to refer to nuclear missiles, leading analysts to conclude that it could be the North's first cruise missile that is able to carry a nuclear warhead.

If so, it poses security risks to neighbours such as Japan and South Korea because their missile defences are set up to detect and destroy incoming ballistic missiles.

The World is on the Brink of Wars! The like the World has Never seen.

Having seen the Weakness and Failure of the the Government in Power in the USA aka the Sleeping Giant, Other Nations are pulling out their Arsenals as they want.

I Believe the World has Entered a New Cold War.
I Believe the World is at the Verge of WW3.

JESUS Christ said that in the Last days, there will be wars btw Nations.
Right now we are seeing the stage set for this Prophecy.

Except you wanna Deceive yourself, it so clear that The Signs of JESUS Soon Return are so Strong and the Evidence so clear that any person willing to accept the truth can see that the End of this age is here.

Time is too Short! Make use of the Opportunity we have now to come to JESUS Christ! So you will be accounted worthy to Escape the Destructions and Disaters Coming on this Earth. JESUS is the Only way of Escape. There is no assistant way! There is No other way.

WW3 isn't far away.

If you think I am wrong, why are they making more advanced weapons if they won't use them at some point?

Nigeria would have been one of the few Africa countries that could build a spaceship to explore planet Mars, but sadly Africa focused more on advancing in Religion by building more churches and mosques than schools and hospitals.

European issues are resolved by Europeans
American issues are resolved by Americans
African issues we invite external parties to help us solve our issues

These are leaders fighting to put their nation first
