North Korea launched two short -range ballistic missiles to the eastern waters. It is believed that it was to protest the first meeting of the "nuclear review team" to protest the day before that of South Korea and the US strategic nuclear submarine.Some analysts believe that this is to put pressure on the United States to master the dominance in the negotiations of the offering of illegal crowds of US military soldiers.
South Korea's United Staff Headquarters said on Wednesday (July 19) that the Korean Army detected two short -range ballistic missiles in the Shunan area of Pyong'an at the Shunan area of Pyongyang from 3:30 am to 3.46 on the same day.The missiles flew about 550 kilometers and fell into the East China Sea.The Korean and American intelligence department is analyzing the specific parameters of the missile.
This launch is only one week away from North Korea's launch of the "Mars-18" intercontinental ballistic missile on the 12th.
Yang Xu, a research member of the Eshan Policy Research Institute, analyzed: "The flight distance between the two North Korean missiles is 550 kilometers, and the distance from the Shunan to Busan's combat base in Pyongyang.Strategic nuclear submarines indicate protests. "
The U.S. -South Korea's first nuclear consultation group meeting was held on Tuesday (18th) in Seoul.U.S. officials revealed on the same day that US strategic nuclear submarines have stopped at the Port of Busan. This is the US strategic nuclear submarine visiting South Korea again after 42 years.
The Vietnamese American soldiers have just been released for attacking others in prison last week.
At the same time that the US -South Korea military contact caused North Korea's dissatisfaction, a soldier in the United States entered North Korea on the 18th, causing attention.
As of the evening of the 19th, North Korea has not yet expressed his statement on the cross -border incident.
The US Minister of Defense Austin confirmed on the 18th that a U.S. soldier was deliberately crossing the military division line without permission when a U.S. soldier visited the Banmen Store in the North Korea.The soldier believes that it has been officially detained by North Korea. The United States is paying close attention and investigating, and is trying to inform the soldiers of the soldiers.
It is reported that the second -class US Army's second -class soldier Tellavis Kim (23 years old) has previously been arrested for attacking others, detained in the Korean prison, and was released on Monday (10th).He originally planned to return to the United States on the evening of the 17th to accept further discipline, but when he was escorted to the airport, he called "the passport was lost" and was taken away from the airport.It is unclear why the soldier would appear in Banmen on the morning of the 18th.
South Korean media pointed out that most of the tourist groups in Panmunnia were gathered in the Urban area of Seoul, and took the bus to Panmunjom together.Because it is necessary to apply one week in advance, it is not ruled out that the soldier has planned to cross the border into North Korea in advance.
Park Yuankun, a professor at the Department of North Korea at Lihua Women's University, believes that North Korea may be investigating the identity of the soldier.Whether North Korea will use this to propose conditions to the United States, etc., which prompts North Korea to restore dialogue with the United States, which has attracted much attention.
U.S. leaders have previously negotiated directly in the Americans and North Korea in order to take them back.Among them, former US President Clinton went to Pyongyang, North Korea to conduct a 20 -hour "lightning" visit in 2000, and prompted two American female reporters who were detained and sentenced by North Korea to be released and returned to the United States with Clinton.US Secretary of State Pompeo also met the late leader Kim Jong -un, and successfully sought North Korea to release three Korean Americans.
