North Korea fired missiles toward South Korea who fired their own back at 'em

North Korea fired about a dozen missiles toward South Korea on Wednesday, one of which landed near the SoKo sea border. 

In response to the threat, South Korea launched its own "test" missiles.

The incident comes just hours after the hermit nation threatened to use nuclear weapons to have South Korea and the U.S. "pay the most horrible price in history," not counting Biden's Inflation Reduction Act. The catalyst for Kim Jong Un's rhetoric comes from the ongoing South Korean-U.S. military drills that the fat man views as an invasion rehearsal.

South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said at least one of the missiles launched by North Korea landed less than 40 miles from the South Korean city of Sokcho on the east coast and 104 miles from Ulleung, where air raid warnings had sounded.

"We heard the siren at around 8:55 am and all of us in the building went down to the evacuation place in the basement," an Ulleung county official told Reuters. "We stayed there until we came upstairs at around 9:15 after hearing that the projectile fell into the high seas."

According to SoKo's Joint Chiefs of Staff, President Yoon Suk-yeol ordered a "swift response" to NoKo's latest threat.

Kim has demanded the U.S. and South Korea end large-scale military exercises around the peninsula because it evidently gives him the willies.

This was the closest a North Korean ballistic missile had landed near South Korean waters and things appear to be heating up between the two countries.

"Our military can never tolerate this kind of North Korea's provocative act, and will strictly and firmly respond under close South Korea-U.S. cooperation," South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a news release.

The U.S. and South Korea began one of their largest combined military air drills on Monday, called Vigilant Storm, with hundreds of warplanes from both countries staging mock attacks 24 hours per day. This may be seen by Kim as a threat to his dictatorship and he reacted in a bellicose response.

President Biden spoke to our own Joint Chiefs of Staff on the situation saying, "I, uh, my son Beau died fighting the North Korean commies with Corn Pop by his side. Who?"

North Korea has already test-fired a record number of missiles this year. The country has said a recent barrage of launches was in response to the military drills as Kim worries about his future.
