North Korea has carried out several weapons tests and criticized the joint military exercises held by the United States and Japan.

北韓進行了多次武器測試，並批評美國與日本舉行的聯合軍事演習。

On June 25, North Korea tested several types of weapons under the supervision of Kim Jong Un. These tests included a new rocket launcher system, long-range shells, and special warheads for tactical missiles. Although the South Korean Ministry of National Defense claimed they tracked the missiles in cooperation with the US, the public was not informed immediately. Consequently, some critics in South Korea suggested that the US might have shared less intelligence than usual, which delayed the announcement. However, Col. Lee Kyung-ho dismissed these claims as political and stated that the military is still analyzing the weapons to determine their exact specifications.

6月25日，北韓在金正恩的監督下測試了數種武器。這些測試包括一套新的火箭發射系統、長程砲彈以及戰術飛彈的特種彈頭。雖然韓國國防部聲稱他們與美國合作追蹤了飛彈，但並未立即通知大眾。因此，韓國部分批評者認為美國分享的情報可能比平時少，導致公告延遲。然而，李京浩上校（Col. Lee Kyung-ho）將這些指控斥為政治操弄，並表示軍方仍在分析這些武器，以確定其確切規格。

At the same time, North Korea expressed strong opposition to the 'Resolute Dragon' exercises, which involved the US Marine Corps and Japanese forces in Okinawa and Kyushu. Through its state news agency, Pyongyang argued that Japan is using global instability to become more aggressive. Furthermore, North Korea asserted that its own missile tests were necessary precautions in response to Japan's participation in these international exercises. This situation shows that regional security is worsening as the US and Japan strengthen their military alliance.

與此同時，北韓對「堅決龍」（Resolute Dragon）演習表示強烈反對，該演習涉及美國海軍陸戰隊與日本軍隊在沖繩與九州的行動。平壤透過其國家新聞社主張，日本正利用全球不穩定局勢變得更加好戰。此外，北韓堅稱其飛彈測試是應對日本參與這些國際演習的必要預防措施。這種情況顯示，隨著美國與日本強化軍事同盟，區域安全正日益惡化。

The region continues to face instability due to North Korea's weapons development and the growing tensions surrounding US-Japan military cooperation.

由於北韓開發武器以及美日軍事合作所引起的緊張局勢日益增加，該地區將持續面臨不穩定局面。
