Kim Jong-un has overseen short-range ballistic missile tests simulating nuclear counterattacks against US and South Korean forces, blaming joint military drills for rising tensions. The tests, part of training exercises, demonstrated North Korea's rapid counteraction posture. Kim emphasized the need for enhanced military preparedness and criticized US-South Korea drills as provocative. South Korea condemned the launches as a violation of UN resolutions. The event marks North Korea's sixth missile event this year, coinciding with Kim's visit to the Russian Embassy to celebrate the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany.
