The Korean peninsula is increasingly submerged by war alarms.
North Korea they reportedly sent their 180 fighter jets close South Korea. South Korea therefore did not want to miss a bluff.
The South Korean Air Force has deployed some 80 fighter jets to deal with airborne threats from North Korea. Of that number, South Korea has also deployed US-produced stealth fighter jets, the F-35A.
As quoted by Reuters.
Previously, as many as 240 fighter jets were involved in the Hurricane Alert air war games between the United States and South Korea.
North Korea then showed the power of fighter jets by flying 10 warplanes. The planes carried out combat maneuvers, forcing South Korea to deploy their fighters as well.
North Korea flew its fighters after firing 80 pieces of artillery into the sea, including several intercontinental missiles (ICBMs).
The Seoul army reported that Pyongyang fired around 80 artillery shells in the maritime buffer zone at around 11:28 pm local time. The Seoul Joint Chiefs of Staff said the artillery barrage was unacceptable.
“[Itu] clear violation [terhadap perjanjian 2018]”he said Friday, as quoted by AFP.
The 2018 agreement is an agreement that contains the establishment of a buffer zone in an attempt to reduce tensions between the two Koreas.
The missile launch forced South Korea and the United States to extend military exercises, further infuriating North Korea.
