India's nuclear-capable missile Prithvi-II hits target with 'high accuracy' in test launch

The Prithvi-II missile has a range of around 350 kilometres.

Amid persisting border tension with China, India conducted a successful test launch of the nuclear-capable missile Prithvi-II on 10 January 2023.
The tactical ballistic missile was fired from a test range off the Odisha coast, and hit its target with "high accuracy".
The government said that the short-range missile is a "well-established system", and an "integral part of India's nuclear deterrence".
The "user training launch" successfully validated all operational and technical parameters of the missile, the defence ministry said. The test was conducted at Integrated Test Range, Chandipur, off the coast of Odisha.
The Prithvi-II missile has a range of around 350 kilometres.

N Korea fires missiles toward sea as US warns over nukes

The US Indo Pacific Command said the launches did not pose an immediate threat to the United States or its allies but highlighted the 'destabilising impact'

The US Indo Pacific Command said the launches did not pose an immediate threat to the United States or its allies but highlighted the 'destabilising impact'

North Korea fired two short-range ballistic missiles toward the sea on Friday in its first ballistic weapons launches in two weeks, as the US military warned the North that the use of nuclear weapons &ldquo;will result in the end of that regime.&rdquo; South Korea's military detected the two launches from the North's eastern coastal Tongchon area around midday on Friday, Seoul's Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement. It said both missiles flew about 230 kilometers (140 miles) at a maximum altitude of 24 kilometers (15 miles).
The statement said South Korea strongly condemns the launches, calling them &ldquo;a grave provocation&rdquo; that undermines regional peace and violates UN Security Council resolutions banning any ballistic activities by North Korea. It said South Korea has boosted its surveillance on North Korea.
The US Indo Pacific Command said the launches did not pose an immediate threat to the United States or its allies but highlighted the &ldquo;destabilising impact&rdquo; of North Korea's illicit nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs.
The Japanese Defence Ministry said it also detected the launches and that the type of missiles used and their flight information were still being analyzed.
The back-to-back launches, the North's first ballistic missile tests since Oct 14, came on the final day of South Korea's annual 12-day &ldquo;Hoguk&rdquo; field exercises, which also involved an unspecified number of U.S. troops this year. Next week, South Korean and US air forces plan to conduct a large-scale training as well.
North Korea sees such regular drills by Seoul and Washington as practice for launching an attack on the North, though the allies say their exercises are defensive in nature.
Next week's &ldquo;Vigilant Storm&rdquo; aerial drills are to run from Monday to Friday and involve about 140 South Korean warplanes and about 100 US aircraft. The planes include sophisticated fighter jets like F-35 from both nations, South Korea's Defense Ministry said in a statement earlier Friday.
Since late September, North Korea has launched a barrage of missiles toward the sea in what it called simulated tests of tactical nuclear weapons systems designed to attack South Korean and US targets. North Korea says its testing activities were meant to issue a warning amid a series of South Korea-U.S. military drills. But some experts say Pyongyang has also used its rivals' drills as a chance to test new weapons systems, boost its nuclear capability and increase its leverage in future dealings with Washington and Seoul.
Tongchon, the launch site for the North's Friday launches, is about 60 kilometers (37 miles) away from the inter-Korean land border. The area was apparently closer to South Korea than any other missile launch site North Korea has used so far this year.
South Korea and the United States have strongly warned North Korea against using its nuclear weapons preemptively.
The Pentagon's National Defense Strategy report issued on Thursday stated that any nuclear attack by North Korea against the United States or its allies and partners &ldquo;will result in the end of that regime.&rdquo; &ldquo;There is no scenario in which the Kim regime could employ nuclear weapons and survive,&rdquo; the report said. The Pentagon said it will continue to deter North Korean attacks through &ldquo;forward posture,&rdquo; including nuclear deterrence, integrated air and missile defenses, and close coordination and interoperability with South Korea.
During a visit to Tokyo on Tuesday, US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman reiterated that the United States would fully use its military capabilities, &ldquo;including nuclear,&rdquo; to defend its allies South Korea and Japan.
Last month, South Korea's Defense Ministry warned North Korea that using its nuclear weapons would put it on a &ldquo;path of self-destruction." There are concerns that the North could up the ante in the coming weeks by conducting its first nuclear test since 2017.
Rafael Grossi, chief of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said Thursday that a new nuclear test explosion by North Korea &ldquo;would be yet another confirmation of a program which is moving full steam ahead in a way that is incredibly concerning.&rdquo; He said the UN agency has been observing preparations for a new test, which would be the North's seventh overall, but gave no indication of whether an atomic blast is imminent.
In recent days, North Korea has also fired hundreds of shells in inter-Korean maritime buffer zones that the two Koreas established in 2018 to reduce frontline military tensions. North Korea has said the artillery firings were in reaction to South Korean live-fire exercises at land border areas.
On Monday, the rival Koreas exchanged warning shots along their disputed western sea boundary, a scene of past bloodshed and naval battles, as they accused each other of violating the boundary.

Signalling a major expansion of its nuclear capabilities, China has begun construction of over 100 new silos for intercontinental ballistic missiles in a desert near Yumen, The Washington Post has reported citing satellite imagery.
The silo construction project could provide China a means of concealing its nuclear weapons, the report stated, adding that the 119 nearly identical construction sites could potentially house powerful weapons capable of reaching the American mainland.
The acquisition of over 100 new missile silos, if completed, would represent a historic shift for China, that is believed to possess a stockpile of 250 to 350 nuclear weapons, the report said.
The discovery of over 100 silos follows recent warnings by Pentagon officials about China&rsquo;s rapid advances in nuclear capability.

Iran’s president-elect on Monday said he wouldn’t meet with President Joe Biden nor negotiate over Tehran’s ballistic missile program and its support of regional militia

Iran’s president-elect says he won’t meet with Joe Biden

Iran&rsquo;s president-elect on Monday said he wouldn&rsquo;t meet with President Joe Biden nor negotiate over Tehran&rsquo;s ballistic missile program and its support of regional militias, sticking to a hard-line position following his landslide victory in last week&rsquo;s election.
Judiciary chief Ebrahim Raisi&nbsp;also described himself as a &ldquo;defender of human rights&rdquo; when asked about his involvement in the 1988 mass execution of some 5,000 people.
It marked the first time he&rsquo;s been put on the spot on live television over that dark moment in Iranian history at the end of the Iran-Iraq war.
The US, under Donald Trump, left the the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action in 2018 and both it and Iran have undertaken weeks of indirect talks to try to find a way back.
But Mr Raisi said Iran&rsquo;s foreign policy will be wider than the deal.
