North Korea launches ballistic missiles 4 days after cruise missile launches
North Korea presses the US and the ROK over the announcement of a series of talks this month
Vice-President Kim Yeo-jeong “The US, don’t make things to sleep.”

Analysis of North Korea’s launching of ballistic missiles in almost a year is that it aimed at the Biden administration’s policy toward North Korea, which is in the final stage.
It is expected to gradually increase the level of pressure to stimulate the US government as much as possible to drive policy change.

North Korea’s ballistic missile launch is only four days after launching a cruise missile.
North Korea has been releasing condemnation talks this month and raising the level of tension through successive armed demonstrations.
Labor vice president Kim Yeo-jeong warned on the 16th that “it would be better not to create a sleek job from the start,” aiming at the US government.
Two days later, First Injury Choi Sun-hee raised the level of pressure that no North American contact or dialogue could take place unless the US hostilities policy was withdrawn.
North Korea’s move came amid the imminent decision of the Biden administration’s policy toward North Korea.
It is expected that the US will conclude its policy toward North Korea through a meeting of the heads of the Korea-US-Japan security office next week.

It is highly analyzed that this provocation is also a paving stone for taking the lead in North American negotiations while wary of the US’s new policy toward North Korea being put under pressure.

Accordingly, there is a possibility that North Korea will raise the level of tension through submarine-launched ballistic missiles, SLBMs, or test firings of new weapons.
After seeing the reaction of the US government, raising pressure until Kim Il-sung’s birthday on the 15th of next month, it is expected that the direction of the future response will be set.
