  • The story: The Kim regime of North Korea informed it​ successfully launched newly developed long-range cruise missiles, its first missile test in six months and a new indication that an arms race between North and South Korea was heating up on the Korean Peninsula.
  • Details of tests: These were on 14th/15th Sept, 2021, and the North Korean missiles hit targets 1,500 kilometers (932 miles) away after flying more than two hours. The missiles changed their trajectories and made circles before hitting their targets.
  1. A series of resolutions from the United Nations Security Council banned North Korea from developing or testing ballistic missiles, but not cruise missiles.
  2. A cruise missile test by the North usually does not raise as much alarm as its ballistic missile tests. The country’s state-run media also indicated that the nation’s leader, Kim Jong-un, had not attended the weekend tests, though he has usually supervised all major weapons tests in recent years.
  3. The latest tests showed that North Korea continued to improve its arsenal of missiles while nuclear disarmament talks with the United States remained stalled.
  4. North Korea said that the long-range cruise missile was “a strategic weapon of great significance” and part of an arms development goal announced by Mr. Kim during the party congress in January 2021.
  • South Korean response: South Korea and the United States had conducted a nine-day joint military exercise in August. Joint drills by the two allies have often provoked North Korea into carrying out its own military exercises or weapons tests. The North’s tests also came amid signs that South Korea was rapidly ramping up its own arms buildup.
  1. South Korea successfully tested its first submarine-launched ballistic missile in September.
  2. The S.L.B.M. was launched from the country’s newly built Dosan Ahn Changho-class attack submarine. North Korea began testing its submarine-launched ballistic missiles in 2015, reporting the “greatest success” the following year.
  3. As international negotiations have made little progress in stopping North Korea from growing its weapons arsenal, South Korea has embarked on building more powerful missiles and missile-defense systems of its own to counter North Korean threats.
  • US relaxations: In recent years, the United States has eased the so-called missile guidelines that placed limits on the range and warhead weight of ballistic missiles that South Korea was allowed to develop. After North Korea launched its first intercontinental ballistic missile in 2017, Donald J. Trump, then president, lifted the payload limit on South Korean ballistic missiles. During the summit meeting in May between President Biden and his South Korean counterpart, Moon Jae-in, the allies agreed to terminate the missile guidelines, leaving South Korea free to develop longer-range missiles. North Korea reacted angrily to the removal of the missile restrictions.
  • Giving a green signal: The removal of the limits allows South Korea to build ballistic missiles with larger warheads that hold destructive power and that can target underground bunkers where North Korea keeps its nuclear arsenal and where its leadership would hide at war, military analysts said. The tit-for-tat weapons buildup has signaled that the rival militaries were arming themselves with increasingly powerful missiles that can fly farther and carry more destructive power, and that are harder to intercept.
  • Recent past: Tensions on the Korean Peninsula rose sharply in 2017, when North Korea tested three intercontinental ballistic missiles and conducted its sixth underground nuclear test, leading to sanctions from the United Nations. After the tests, the country claimed an ability to target the continental United States with a nuclear warhead. Trump met with Kim three times between 2018 and 2019, but the two leaders failed to reach an agreement on sanctions and the North’s nuclear and missile programmes.
  • Parading it: In military parades held last October and in January, North Korea unveiled what appeared to be newly developed intercontinental and submarine-launched ballistic missiles. The United Nations’ nuclear watchdog said last month that the country appeared to have restarted a reactor in its main nuclear complex​. But North Korea has refrained from​ testing an I.C.B.M. or a nuclear device since 2017. Its most recent military parade, held Thursday to mark the government’s 73rd anniversary, did not feature new weapons.
  • EXAM QUESTIONS: (1) Explain the role of America in the evolving Korean arms race. (2) What is the possible route for disarming North Korea eventually? Evaluate.
