This week, with a 1 hour sham trial, North Korea sentenced 21 year old American, Otto Warmbier to 15 years of hard labor. But that’s not all the worst totalitarian regime in the world is doing. They are flexing their military muscles with ballistic missile launches as well. Last week the regime fired two missiles east from the North Hwanghae province, south of Pyongyang.
North Korea has launched two ballistic missiles off the west coast of the Korean peninsula, the South Korean military and U.S. defense officials said Friday.
The South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff said that one ballistic missile flew a distance of 800 kilometers overland toward the sea off the country’s east coast, while a second projectile, assumed to be a missile, was detected by radar but disappeared at an altitude of about 17 kilometers.
That test and the one conducted yesterday are in blatant defiance of the sanctions imposed on North Korea after the sanctions the UN Security council put in place after the country’s nuclear test in January.
Furthermore the range of these new missiles, according to experts, has a longer reach than any in the past.
