Combat Ability: Korea and Coast City

combat ability: Pyongyang's official Korean Central News Agency said Kim expressed great satisfaction over Saturday's drills and stressed that his frontline troops should keep a high-alert posture and enhance combat ability to defend the political sovereignty and economic self-sustenance of the country . Earlier South Korea has issued a stern rebuke to Pyongyang for escalating military tensions on the divided peninsula for firing what it called a series of unidentified short-range projectiles into the sea, according to The Independent. The projectiles were fired on Saturday from the east coast city of Wonsan at around 9am, and flew 70 to 200km towards the north-east, South Korea's Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement. The admission came a day after South Korea's military detected North Korea launching several unidentified short-range projectiles into the sea off its eastern coast. The launches were likely to be meant as a warning to the US after the failure of a denuclearisation summit in Hanoi between North Korea's Kim Jong-un and the US president, Donald Trump, analysts said. Since then both leaders have said they are open to meeting again, and praised their personal relationship, but there has been little movement on key obstacles to a deal.
