South Korea has developed a 1,000-kilometer cruise missile to counter North Korea’s short and medium-range missiles, reports The Korea Times. The Korean military conducted a successful test of the missile recently, hitting targets with a margin of error of plus or minus five meters, a “government source” told the Times. The new weapon reportedly can reach deep into North Korea. And, there’s a 1,500-km version in the works, too.
President Donald Trump on July 4 signed into law $150 billion in defense funds as part of the tax-and-spending package known as the “One Big, Beautiful Bill” after congressional Republicans approved the legislation in narrow, drawn-out votes earlier this week.
