Picha:Kombora la balistic la North Korea likitazamwa kwenye luninga huku ndugu mtazamaji akiwa ndani ya mask ya kujikinga na Corona virus
North Korea kashafanya yake leo. Ametest mitambo kwa kutupia makombora mawili ya balistiki ktk bahari ya Japan. Makombora hayo yalirushwa tokea ktk jimbo la Pyongan na kusafiri umbali wa km 410, kimo cha km 50 kabla ya kudondokea baharini.
South Korea wameiomba North Korea wastop kurusha makitu hayo maana yanaongeza taharuki juu ya hali ya taharuki ambayo tayari ipo duniani, ugonjwa wa corona.
Ikumbukwe kuwa mwezi huu North Korea ilifanya pia majaribio matatu tofauti ya kurusha roketi angani ambayo pia yalikemewa na mabeberu. Ambapo North Korea iliahidi kwa kuwa wanachonga sana kwa majaribio hayo ya kawaida, basi wao (North Korea) wataongeza majaribio zaidi. Pengine ndio wameamua kurusha vitu vyenyewe sasa, ballistic missiles.
Mtazamo wangu binafsi: tutazamie North Korea itatupia yale makitu yaitwayo Intercontinental ballistic missile siku chache zijazo.

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA - North Korea has test-fired what appear to be two short-range ballistic missiles, South Korea’s military said Saturday.
The weapons were fired from North Pyongan province and traveled about 410 kilometers, at an altitude of about 50 kilometers, before splashing into the sea off North Korea’s east coast, according to South Korea's estimates.
“We are aware of a North Korean missile launch this morning into the East Sea, will continue to monitor the situation and are consulting closely with our South Korean and Japanese allies,” said Col. Lee Peters, spokesperson for United States Forces Korea
In its own statement, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff called on North Korea to “immediately stop” such “extremely inappropriate” acts, especially in light of the global difficulties caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
North Korea has conducted three rounds of short-range rocket tests this month, even while fighting off a potentially disastrous coronavirus outbreak.
Everything’s fine?
Pyongyang, which has called coronavirus prevention a matter of “national survival," has reported no infections. Even as cases swell across the globe, North Korea is in some ways projecting an image of normality.
This month, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has observed multiple “artillery fire competitions” between Korean People’s Army units. In state media photos, Kim has not worn a mask, though top officials around him sometimes do.
In what appears to be another show of confidence in its ability to handle the pandemic, North Korea on Saturday announced it will go ahead with a major meeting of hundreds of political leaders. The Korean Central News Agency reported the plenary session of the Supreme People’s Assembly will be April 10.
North Korea attempted to seal its borders to keep out the coronavirus in late January, just after the outbreak emerged in neighboring China. That move foreshadowed the severe immigration restrictions later seen in countries around the world. But completely sealing North Korea’s borders would be difficult, since its economy relies on both formal and informal trade with China. Many experts say the coronavirus has almost certainly reached North Korea.
