North Korea has launched cruise missiles four times into the waters this year after the January 14 launch of an intermediate-range missile, heightening concerns of a nuclear conflict. These launches are aimed towards creating a nuclear-armed navy to deter what Pyongyang calls US-led confrontations.
South Korea's defence minister Shin Won-sik condemned the launches and warned that Kim Jong Un's regime would meet its demise in case of a war. North Korea has accelerated its weapons development and nuclear threats toward growing cooperation between the US and its Asian allies.
Ukraine claimed that it destroyed the 'Novocherkassk' landing ship, however, the Russian defence ministry reported that the ship was damaged after Kyiv launched air-launched missiles to attack the Crimean port of Feodosia. Crimea governor Sergei Aksyonov said that one person was killed.
