BREAKING NEWS North Korea Launches 4 More Missiles 3 Land in Japanese Economic Zone 200 Miles from Coast
BREAKING NEWS North Korea Launches 4 More Missiles 3 Land in Japanese Economic Zone 200 Miles from Coast
eva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">North Korea has fired another four ballistic missiles on Monday, with three of them landing in Japan’s economic zone, approximately 200-nautical miles (300km) offshore Japan, near the Oga peninsula. The area where the missiles landed in the ocean is where Tokyo has exclusive sovereign rights for resource exploration and exploitation.
The firing of the four missiles follows the commencement of the US-South Korean joint annual military drills that run until late April. The said drills are a contentious point between North and South Korea, with North Korea claiming them an act of invasion rehearsal.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe responded to North Korea’s latest missile firings as becoming “a new kind of threat,” reports Associate Press.
The launches were reportedly made from the North Pyongan province in the Tongchang-ri area where other launches have been conducted. They follow last week’s warnings from the North’s General Staff of the Korean People’s Army that Pyongyang’s reaction to the two-month long South Korean army drills with the US would be the “toughest” yet.
The official North Korean news outlet, KCNA, also had quoted the anonymous spokesman for the Korean People’s Army that the North will “mercilessly foil the nuclear war racket of the aggressors with its treasured nuclear sword.”
According to KCNA, the military said in a statement, “Our army will counter them with the toughest counteractions as it already declared.
“This stand of ours we clarified before the world is by no means empty talk.”
The missiles launched travelled an approximate distance of 1,000 miles. One missile has not been ruled out as being an ICBM that potentially could have reached the United States coastline. The fourth missile was said to have landed just outside the Japanese economic zone exclusive to the country.
North Korea has received international condemnation for its aggression in the region, with China being the latest to implement their own sanctions, refusing to accept coal from the isolationist country. The suspension of coal imports will hit the North Korean currency hard, accounting for 90 percent of its coal trade and making up a bulk of its income.
UN resolutions were also implemented but appear to be having little to no influence in swaying Kim Jong-un’s stance.
Only last month, Kim Jong-un’s half-brother Kim Jong Nam was allegedly assassinated at Kuala Lumpur airport. The Feb. 13 killing has raised questions on the use of the deadly VX nerve agent being manufactured for larger-scale use.
Talks were scheduled between North Korean diplomats and former Washington D.C. officials to occur in the United States, but were called off after the assassination, with the State Department deciding not to issue the North Korean diplomats’ their visas to travel to New York.
The North Korean situation will continue to be monitored closely.

Samsung Launches the Exynos 9 Series 8895 Octa Core Processor on 10nm FinFET Process Technology
Samsung Launches the Exynos 9 Series 8895 Octa Core Processor on 10nm FinFET Process Technology
The Exynos 9 Series 8895 is the latest premium application processor from Samsung Electronics, and is the first from Samsung to take advantage of 10nm FinFET process technology. This allows up to 27% higher performance while consuming 40% less power when compared to 14nm technology.
The Exynos 8895 is an octa-core processor, comprising four of Samsung’s 2nd generation custom designed CPU cores for improved performance and four Cortex-A53 cores for efficiency. The CPU also features upgraded Samsung Coherent Interconnect (SCI) technology which supports Heterogeneous System Architecture that enables faster calculations for areas like AI and deep learning.
The Exynos 8895 also supports displays up to WQUXGA (3840×2400) and 4K UHD (4096×2160). It also supports LPDDR4x Memory, as well as eMMC 5.1, UFS 2.1 and SD 3.0 for storage.
The multimedia experience for the Exynos 8895 gets a hand from the advanced MFC (Multi-Format Codec), which allows it to support video recording and playback at 4K UHD at 120fps with the latest video codecs including HEVC(H.265), H.264 and VP9.
The Exynos 8895 also features a separate processing unit for enhanced security solutions that are needed in mobile biometric solutions like iris and fingerprint recognition. There is also an embedded Vision Processing Unit (VPU) that can recognize and analyze items and movements for better video tracking, panoramic image processing and machine vision technology.
That is not all. The Samsung Exynos 8895 is also the first mobile processor to integrate a gigabit LTE modem in the industry that supports 5CA (Carrier Aggregation) for downlink, supporting maximum speeds of up to 1Gbps (Cat.16) as well as 2CA uplink with maximum speed of up to 150Mbps (Cat.13).
What are your thoughts on the Samsung Exynos 9 Series 8895 Soc? How do you think the processor will fare against the competition? Let us know in the comments below!
