Significantly, Friday's missile tests took place a day after the United States and South Korea conducted joint military exercises. These exercises involved stealth fighter jets, which are difficult to detect by radar.

Kim Jong Un, the leader of North Korea, personally observed these activities.

He expressed satisfaction with the successful tests and ordered the acceleration of the production of new missiles. His goal is to strengthen the country's nuclear forces and increase deterrence capabilities against potential adversaries quickly.
