State media photos showed Kim walking hand-in-hand with his daughter clad in a white jacket and a pair of red shoes, and watching together a huge missile loaded on a launch truck. It\u2019s the first time for North Korea to publish the photo of Kim\u2019s daughter. Observers say Kim observing a weapons launch with his family suggests that he was confident in its success.<\/p>\n<p>Kim, 38, is the third generation of his family to rule North Korea. South Korean media reported he has three children born in 2010, 2013 and 2017 respectively. It wasn\u2019t immediately known which child he took to the launch site.<\/p>\n<p>Much of Kim\u2019s private life is still unknown, but in 2013, after a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a> to Pyongyang, retired NBA star Dennis Rodman told the British newspaper the Guardian that he and Kim had a \u201crelaxing time by the sea\u201d with the leader\u2019s family and that he held Kim\u2019s baby daughter, named Ju Ae.<\/p>\n<p>Friday\u2019s launch was part of the North\u2019s ongoing barrage of missile tests that are seen as an attempt to expand its weapons arsenal and boost its leverage in future diplomacy. Some foreign experts said the Hwasong-17 missile is still under development but is the North\u2019s longest-range ballistic weapon designed to carry multiple nuclear warheads to defeat U.S. missile defense systems.<\/p>\n<p>KCNA said the missile fired from the Pyongyang International Airport traveled up to a maximum altitude of about 6,040 kilometers (3,750 miles) and flew a distance of about 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) before it landed on the preset area in international waters off the country\u2019s east coast.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe test-fire clearly proved the reliability of the new major strategic weapon system to be representative of (North Korea\u2019s) strategic forces and its powerful combat performance as the strongest strategic weapon in the world,\u201d KCNA said.<\/p>\n<p>Kim said his country is compelled to further bolster its \u201coverwhelming nuclear deterrence\u201d because U.S.-led military threats have been getting more transparent. Kim stressed the need to have the U.S. and its allies realize that their military steps against North Korea would \u201clead to their self-destruction,\u201d KCNA said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKim Jong Un solemnly declared that if the enemies continue to pose threats to the DPRK, frequently introducing nuclear strike means, our Party and government will resolutely react to nukes with nuclear weapons and to total confrontation with all-out confrontation,\u201d KCNA said.<\/p>\n<p>Kim\u2019s statement suggests North Korea will continue its weapons testing activities as the United States is pushing to bolster its <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/biden-asia-japan-xi-jinping-china-c03f8fb768500ffb411f9fcec2da4fcf\" data-ylk=\"slk:security commitment to its allies South Korea and Japan\" class=\"link rapid-noclick-resp\">security commitment to its allies South Korea and Japan<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>North Korea\u2019s weapons testing spree this year was possible partly because China and Russia have opposed the United States and its allies\u2019 moves to adopt fresh United Nations sanctions on North Korea. There are concerns that North Korea could soon conduct its first nuclear test in five years.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson condemned Friday&#8217;s launch and said the United States will take \u201call necessary measures\u201d to guarantee the safety of its territory and South Korea and Japan. Vice President Kamala Harris separately met with the leaders of those countries and of Australia, Canada and New Zealand who are attending a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/g-20-summit-health-business-china-canada-daa03c57c21d4b2b61fac0061b00321b\" data-ylk=\"slk:regional forum in Bangkok to discuss a joint response to North Korea\" class=\"link rapid-noclick-resp\">regional forum in Bangkok to discuss a joint response to North Korea<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>South Korea and Japan also criticized the launch and held separate aerial drills with U.S. forces. South Korea\u2019s military said it also staged unilateral exercises simulating aerial strikes on North Korean mobile missile launchers at a firing range near its land border with North Korea.<\/p>\n<p>Japanese Defense Minister Yasukazu Hamada said Friday that depending on the weight of a potential warhead, the missile had a range exceeding 15,000 kilometers (9,320 miles), \u201cin which case it could cover the entire mainland United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The North\u2019s nuclear and missile arsenals are shrouded in secrecy. Some experts say North Korea is still years away from possessing a functioning nuclear missile, saying it has yet to prove technologies to ensure that warheads survive the harsh conditions of atmospheric reentry. But others say North Korea has likely already acquired such capacities given the number of years spent on its nuclear program.<\/p>\n<p>In recent months, North Korea has performed dozens of shorter-range missile tests that it called <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/business-seoul-south-korea-nuclear-weapons-north-6ce0a8da47f8eb9228d4b33223ebfa3b\" data-ylk=\"slk:simulations of nuclear attacks on South Korean and U.S. targets\" class=\"link rapid-noclick-resp\">simulations of nuclear attacks on South Korean and U.S. targets<\/a>. North Korea said its tests were aimed at issuing a warning to the United States and South Korea over their military training that the North views as an invasion rehearsal.<\/p>\n<p>North Korea halted weapons launches for about a week before it fired a short-range ballistic missile on Thursday. Before that launch, North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/seoul-south-korea-north-joint-chiefs-of-staff-government-and-politics-9abb3a0a7c54377dfd32c9d30f6cb364\" data-ylk=\"slk:threatened to launch \u201cfiercer\u201d military responses\" class=\"link rapid-noclick-resp\">threatened to launch \u201cfiercer\u201d military responses<\/a> to steps by the U.S. to bolster its security commitment to South Korea and Japan.<\/p>\n<p>Choe was referring to U.S. President Joe Biden\u2019s recent meeting with his South Korean and Japanese counterparts on the sidelines of a regional gathering in Cambodia. In their joint statement, the three leaders strongly condemned North Korea\u2019s recent missile tests and agreed to work together to strengthen deterrence. Biden reaffirmed the U.S. commitment to defend South Korea and Japan with a full range of capabilities, including nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
