North Korea challenged the United States | Chronic

North Korea has launched several projectiles "Large caliber and long-range weapons and tactics with remote control"an action that has triggered moments of tension in the region and is further exerting pressure on the United States to change its stance in deadlock talks on denuclearization.

At these exercises, on the east coast of the country, the leader of North Korea participated, Kim Jong-un, according to the North Korean news agency KCNA.

"After determining the order and procedure of the artillery attack, he (Kim) gave the order to shoot", Said KCNA.

The South Korean military authorities were the first to report this launch from Seoul. First, they said it was a short-range missile, after several missiles, before specifying "Projectiles".

The launch resulted in telephone conversations between the South Korean, US and Japanese authorities, who feared that the Pyongyang regime had decided to resume the ballistic program that had been halted for months.

According to KCNA, the military exercises were aimed at "Evaluate and inspect the operational capability and accuracy of fire compliance of large-caliber and long-range reactive rocket launchers, remotely operated tactical weapons, and effective combat arms". All this, added the note of the official agency, to check the degree of mobilization of the troops of artillery. In addition, Kim said the participating troops "They handle modern rocket launchers and guided weapons very well and are infallible gunners".

It was the first test of Pyongyang since the Vietnam summit between Kim and the US president last February, Donald Trump without agreement on the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.

Last April, Pyongyang tested "a new guided tactical weapon" which, according to South Korea, would be dedicated to land combat.

The latest ballistic missile test dates back to November 2017, when North Koreans launched Hwasong-15, an intercontinental carrier.

The newspaper The New York Times, quoting badysts, said the North Korean attitude was aimed at increasing the pressure on Trump to return the US president to the negotiating table by pledging to ease the economic sanctions imposed on North Korea.

However, Trump on Saturday underestimated the importance of the North Korean test by declaring that an agreement would finally be reached for the denuclearization of the Asian country. "An agreement will be reached!"said the president on his official Twitter account.

Trump noticed that "Everything in this interesting world is possible, but I think Kim Jong-un fully realizes North Korea's great economic potential and will do nothing to prevent or prevent it." he made me ".
