Nordkorea warnt, dass in den US

***From The Times:***

North Korea has test-fired a volley of cruise missiles in response to large-scale military exercises in South Korea, and warned that an accidental misfire could lead to war.

The Freedom Shield exercises are held annually by South Korean and American troops, and every year Pyongyang denounces them as covert preparations for invasion. But the warning about miscalculation has added bite, days after South Korean fighter jets bombed one of their own villages during a live-fire exercise.

If the eight bombs, which injured 29 South Koreans, had accidentally fallen on the northern side of the border, they could easily have provoked a North Korean counterattack with unpredictable and potentially catastrophic consequences.

Last week Kim Jong-un’s sister, Kim yo-jong, responded to the deployment of a US nuclear aircraft carrier to South Korea by warning of “actions threatening the security of the enemy at the strategic level” — which hints at the test of a long-range ballistic missile, or even another underground nuclear test explosion.

[South Korea](https://www.thetimes.com/topic/south-korea)’s joint chiefs of staff said: “Our military has reinforced surveillance and vigilance while maintaining full readiness in close co-ordination with the United States.”

Considering that the South Korean air force just bombed its own people by mistake, I would tell them to be cautious as well.
