North Korea has resumed robot tests after a two-month hiatus. According to South Korea’s military, several ballistic missiles were fired into the sea in North Korean waters early Thursday.
The tests come after the country’s dictator Kim Jong-Un has recently declared that North Korea is building up its ability to strike enemies with nuclear weapons.
In July, when the latest tests were carried out, the country claimed to have test-fired a robot capable of carrying an extra-large payload. North Korea designates the United States and its allies as serious threats. Some observers believe the country is preparing a nuclear or long-range missile test before the US presidential election in November, to show its muscle to the new US leadership.
