North Korea fired off multiple short range missiles last weekend after denouncing Washington for going forward with joint military exercises with South Korea, according to people familiar with the situation.
The missile tests, which have not previously been reported, represent North Korean leader Kim Jong Uns first direct challenge to President Biden, whose aides have not yet outlined their approach to the regimes nuclear threat amid an ongoing review of U.S.-North Korea policy.
For weeks, U.S. defense officials warned that intelligence indicated that North Korea might carry out missile tests. The regime elevated its complaints about U.S. military exercises last week when Kims sister warned that if the Biden administration wants to sleep in peace for the coming four years, it had better refrain from causing a stink.
The tests put renewed pressure on the United States to develop a strategy to address a nuclear threat that has bedeviled successive Republican and Democratic administrations for decades.

I don't ever expect anything to ever come out of this regime, other than massive suffering and so forth.
