Amabhomu ase-US abambe iqhaza ekuziqeqesheni okuhlanganyelwe kwezindiza namasosha aseNingizimu Korea ngeSonto, ngalo lolo suku iNorth Korea yenze isivivinyo somcibisholo okusolakala ukuthi we-ballistic, ngokusho kombutho wezempi waseNingizimu Korea.
Lo msebenzi ubuhlanganisa amabhomu e-US B-1B, ama-F-35A stealth fighters avela eSouth Korean Air Force kanye nama-F-16 fighters e-US Air Force, futhi bekuyingxenye yokuzivocavoca okuhlanganyelwe kweFreedom Shield, kusho amasosha esitatimendeni sabezindaba.
Izindaba zokuzivocavoca zifike ngosuku olufanayo lapho iNorth Korea iphonsa umcibisholo okusolakala ukuthi i-ballistic olwandle phakathi kweNhlonhlo YaseKorea neJapane, ngemva nje kuka-11 ekuseni ngesikhathi sasekhaya, ngokusho koMnyango Wezokuvikela waseJapane kanye nebutho laseNingizimu Korea.
Kodwa-ke, uMnyango Wezokuvikela waseNingizimu Korea awuzange uqinisekise ukuthi ukuqeqeshwa kwezindiza namabhomu aseMelika kwenzeka ngaphambi noma ngemva kokwethulwa kwemicibisholo.
“Umfelandawonye waseNingizimu Korea ne-US ugcina isimo sokuzivikela esihlanganiswe kahle kakhulu lapho kubhekene nokuntengantenga kwesifunda saseNyakatho Korea,” kusho amasosha aseNingizimu Korea esitatimendeni sawo.
“Ukuqhubekela phambili, sizobona ‘Ukuthula Ngamandla’ futhi sithuthukise ukwethembeka kwe-US yokuvimbela okunwetshiwe ngokusekelwe emandleni aqinile kanye nokuma komfelandawonye,” kwengeza.
Umcibisholo okusolakala ukuthi we-ballistic owethulwe yiNorth Korea ngeSonto ufike endaweni ephakeme kakhulu elinganiselwa ku-50km (31 miles) futhi wandizela ibanga elilinganiselwa ku-800km (497 miles), ngokusho komnyango wezokuvikela eJapan. Ixoshwe endaweni yaseDongchang-ri esifundazweni iNorth Pyongan eNorth Korea yase yayohlala olwandle phakathi kweNhlonhlo yaseKorea neJapan, ngokusho kombutho wezempi waseNingizimu Korea.
Ngemva kokuba umcibisholo usufikile, i-Japan Coast Guard yaxwayisa yonke imikhumbi ukuba ilinde ukwaziswa okwengeziwe; ukungasondeli ezintweni eziwile; kanye nokubika noma yini esolisayo.
I-Joint Chiefs of Staff yaseNingizimu Korea (i-JCS) ithe amasosha aqinise ukugada nokuqapha ekulungiseleleni ukwethulwa okwengeziwe “ngenkathi ehlala ekulungele ngokuphelele ngokubambisana ne-US.”
INorth Korea ivamise ukuphendula kulokho ekubuka “njengokucasulwa” yi-US ngokwenza izinsongo ze-bellicose. Umholi wayo uKim Jong Un usole i-US kanye neNingizimu Korea ngokwandisa ukungezwani ngokuzilolonga ngokuhlanganyela kwezempi.
Ukwethulwa kwakamuva kulandela a ukuqubuka kokuhlolwa kwemicibisholo yiNorth Korea, okuhlanganisa neyodwa yemicibisholo yebanga elide ye-ballistic evuliwe ULwesine njengoba abaholi abavela eSouth Korea naseJapan behlangene eTokyo, kanye nokudutshulwa kwemicibisholo emibili yomkhumbi kusukela kumkhumbi-ngwenya kanye nemicibisholo emibili yebanga elifushane ye-ballistic ezinsukwini ezedlule.
Bobabili ohulumeni baseJapan nabaseNingizimu Korea bakugxeke kakhulu ukwethulwa kwemicibisholo yangeSonto, abathi “kukwephula ngokusobala izinqumo zoMkhandlu Wezokuphepha we-UN.”
Ukwethulwa okuphindaphindiwe kwePyongyang “kusongela ukuthula nokuvikeleka kweJapan, isifunda kanye nomphakathi wamazwe omhlaba,” kusho uMnyango Wezokuvikela waseJapan esitatimendeni.
Izivivinyo zezempi ezihlanganyelwe zasentwasahlobo phakathi kwe-United States neNingizimu Korea ziyi- imidlalo enkulu yempi abahlanganyeli bahlanganyele eminyakeni emihlanu.
Ngaphambi kokuzivocavoca kwezinsuku eziyi-11 zeFreedom Shield, iNorth Korea yayisabise ngokuthatha “isinyathelo esinzima kunazo zonke ngokumelene netulo elibi kakhulu lase-US nabalandeli bayo.”
NgoMgqibelo, iNorth Korea ithe izakhamizi zayo ezingaba ngu-800,000 zizinikele ukujoyina noma ukubhalisa kabusha embuthweni wezwe ukuze zilwe ne-United States.
