North Korea has once again ruffled the feathers of world leaders with a ballistic missile test, this time, passing directly over Japan’s northern most Home Island, Hokkaido. The missile then broke up into three parts, the furthest reaching portion flying another 733 miles past the Japanese coast. Although no damage occurred, the Japanese population experienced […]
A North Korean video game developer claims to have released a video game called “Hunting Yankee” inside the reclusive country. The game purports to be a first-person shooter, similar to the massively popular “Call of Duty” franchise, the objective of which is to kill American soldiers with a sniper rifle. Images were released appearing to […]
The rogue government of North Korea’s Kim Jong Un launched a ballistic missile over Japan’s northern Hokkaido island into the sea on Tuesday morning, prompting warnings to residents to take cover and drawing sharp reactions from Japanese, South Korean and US officials. The test was done in response to the United States and South Korean […]
Mike Pence arrived in Colombia on August 13 to start a six-day, four-country tour. His trip was dominated by reaction to President Donald Trump’s August 11 comments about a US “military option” in response to the turmoil in Venezuela. Pence was more measured than Trump when discussing the issue, but governments in Colombia, Argentina, and Chile were quick […]
North Korea conducted a test launch of three short range ballistic missiles on Saturday, as U.S. and South Korean forces continue to conduct military exercises near their border that American officials claim are defensive in nature. All three of the missiles were said to fail. Ulchi Freedom Guardian 2017 is the latest iteration of an […]
In recent months, North Korea’s efforts to build and arm a nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missile have garnered significant attention, but it’s important to remember that Kim Jong-un isn’t the only nuclear player on the block. Another nation the United States has found itself butting heads with increasing frequency already possesses a massive nuclear stockpile (the […]
Kim Jong Un, the North Korean leader who lives in constant fear of assassination, has reportedly hired Russian ex-KGB bodyguards to protect him in case of an attempt on his life. Japan’s Asahi Shinbum reported that Kim hired about 10 former KGB counterterrorism agents to train his bodyguards on how to detect and respond to terrorist […]
Ukraine has released footage of two North Korean spies exuberantly photographing fake missile designs in 2011, as part of a sting operation that eventually landed the pair in jail, as CNN reports. Ukraine, once home to thousands of Soviet nuclear ICBMs, continues to produce missiles today as it faces a Russian-backed insurgency in the countries east. […]
Moscow decided to double down on its complaints about joint U.S. and South Korean military exercises being conducted on the Korean peninsula by conducting their own show of force: flying intelligence gathering aircraft and nuclear capable “Bear” bombers through the region on Wednesday, an uncommon act even for Russia’s often aggressive air force. The United […]
A report filed by a panel of independent U.N. experts filed earlier this month shows that two North Korean shipments to a Syrian government agency responsible for the country’s chemical weapons program have been intercepted within the last six months, indicating that the two nations have been cooperating in the development of weapons of mass […]
The military war games conducted by the United States and South Korea elicited a typical North Korean response. Pyongyang threatened both countries on Tuesday with “merciless retaliation” over their ongoing joint military drills. North Korea’s state-run Korean Central News (KCNA) had a bombastic warning that both countries they “should take the whole responsibility for catastrophic results […]
