April 19, 2022: -North Korean leader Kim Jong Un observed the test-firing of a new weapon aiming at boosting the nuclear capabilities of the country, the North’s KCNA state news agency reported on Sunday.
According to South Korean and U.S. officials, the report comes amid signs North Korea could soon start nuclear testing after Kim broke a self-imposed moratorium on intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) testing with a launch last month.
On Sunday, South Korea’s military said it had detected two projectiles launched from the North’s east coast towards the sea on Saturday. The projectiles flew nearly 110 km (70 miles) with an apogee of 25 km and a maximum speed of almost Mach 4, which indicates that they were short-range missiles.
“The new-type tactical guided weapon system is of great significance in drastically improving the firepower of the frontline long-range artillery units and enhancing the efficiency of tactical nukes operation,” KCNA said.
It said Kim “gave important instructions on building up the country’s defense capabilities and nuclear combat forces.”
North Korea is developing short-range ballistic missiles (SRBMs) that analysts say are designed to evade missile defenses and strike targets in the South.
On April 5, Kim Yo Jong, Kim’s sister, said North Korea is opposing war but would use nuclear weapons to strike South Korea if attacked, in a warning seen toward the South’s incoming conservative president, Yoon Suk-yeol.
Yoon spokesperson Bae Hyun-jin said nothing new or surprising in the North’s “show of force” as a new administration comes in.
President Moon Jae-in, who will leave office on May 10, has received real-time briefings on the North’s missile launch.

Systems thinking is an approach that focuses on understanding how different parts of a system interact and influence one another within a whole. It is a holistic framework considering interrelationships and patterns rather than static snapshots. By expanding perspectives, systems thinking clarifies complex situations and can spur innovation.
A definite ‘NO’ to the question if struggling families had child care asked by a group of committed volunteers in the San Fernando Valley in 1974, urged the volunteers to look for a way to support families struggling to find quality child care, development, and education services for their families. That year, the San Fernando Valley Child Care Consortium and the Mayor’s Child Care and Junior Task Force proposed the first child care resource center in the San Fernando Valley. Doris McLain was elected chairperson as Mayor Bradley accepted the proposal and gave the newly founded Child Care Resource Center (CCRC) space in Van Nuys City Hall Center. CCRC began 45 years to help working moms find child care.
