North Korea’s recent missile advancements appear to be at an “elementary level,” South Korea’s defense ministry said on Thursday, responding to the DPRK’s recent tests of hypersonic and submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs).
Kim Man-gi, deputy minister for national defense policy, made the comment in his report at an annual parliamentary audit of the defense ministry, adding that South Korea detected the test-launches in real time and is ready to respond to provocation from the North.
