North Korea Test Fires Cruise Missiles in Likely Protest of Freedom Shield Exercise

Here is the latest missile test from North Korea during the ongoing Freedom Shield exercise that ends this week:

North Korea fired multiple cruise missiles toward the East Sea on Wednesday, the South Korean military said.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said it detected the launch from the Hamhung area on the North’s east coast from 10:15 a.m. It did not immediately provide other details.

Observers raised the possibility that the launch might have involved a long-range strategic cruise missile known as the North Korean version of the U.S.’ Tomahawk missile.

The launch came as South Korea and the United States are conducting the combined Freedom Shield (FS) command post exercise as well as the concurrent field training exercise, called the Warrior Shield. The 11-day FS is set to end Thursday.

Like a scene out of Mission Impossible, North Korea fired a Cruise missile.

Then they turned up the Heat with a Kilmer missile.

Legend has it, the Pitt missile will be launced this fall.

Pirated technology powered the Depp missile.

The Slater missile was forgotten.

They’d fire a Hunter-Killer; but CCP still needs that asshat to pay off SpongeBrain PoopyPants.
