About 10 North Korean military aircraft were first spotted south of the tactical action line at around 10:30 last night.

In the western inland area, they approached 5 km north of the no-fly zone established according to the 9/19 military agreement, 7 km north of the no-fly zone in the eastern inland area, and 12 km north of the Northern Limit Line in the West Sea area.

Our military has also taken countermeasures.

While maintaining a response posture by urgently sorting out air forces, including the F-35A, a proportional response maneuver was carried out corresponding to the flight of a North Korean military aircraft.

North Korea’s midnight air force demonstration lasted for nearly two hours until about 0:20 this morning.

But it didn’t end there.

Shortly after the threat flight, North Korea fired a short-range ballistic missile this time from Sunan, Pyongyang.

It is the 24th ballistic missile launch this year alone.

From the 25th of last month to the 9th of this month, North Korea fired seven consecutive ballistic missiles, including medium-range ballistic missiles that crossed the Japanese archipelago.

Later, when it was released at once, it was introduced that it was a ‘training of a tactical nuclear operation force’, but Chairman Kim Jong-un, who guided the training, emphasized that he would strengthen the nuclear warfare force.
