Experts say the latest missile tests by Kim Jong Un's regime show Pyongyang is, for the first time, actively using testing weapons to target weak points in the advanced missile defense system that protects the US, Japan and South Korea. Before resuming ballistic missile testing in May, North Korea hadn't test-fired any missiles since November 2017. That pause was a crucial factor in helping create the right conditions for the first meeting between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in June 2018.

"This is really imaginative or creative thinking of using missiles," said Choi, a former director of South Korea's National Security Council and now vice president of the Asan Institute for Policy Studies, a prominent conservative think tank in Seoul.
