South Korea's military has increased its readiness due to North Korea's plans to demolish border roads amid escalating tensions. North Korean troops have been deployed to the border, raising fears of retaliatory explosions in response to South Korea's alleged drone flights over North Korea, which were intended to distribute propaganda leaflets. Military spokesman Lee Sung-jun noted that the North is preparing for potential detonations, which could occur as soon as today. North Korea has escalated its rhetoric, declaring that further incursions would be deemed a declaration of war. Lee highlighted the provocations from North Korea, including its recent actions of sending balloons with derogatory materials into South Korea. Prominent North Korean figures, such as Kim Yo Jong, have condemned the drone flights as an "unpardonable" challenge and threatened severe consequences. Additionally, North Korea has bolstered its military readiness by mobilizing eight artillery brigades for potential firing if tensions worsen. The targeted roads are remnants of past reconciliation efforts, particularly following a 2018 summit aimed at peace. However, North Korea's recent reintroduction of heavy weaponry and restoration of guard posts in the Demilitarized Zone has undermined the 2018 military agreement to reduce tensions. The two Koreas remain technically at war, with their conflict unresolved by a formal peace treaty. #AsiaRisk #NorthKorea #SouthKorea https://lnkd.in/g6A7jYZc Crisis Management Planning for an NK Crisis Get the Erudite Risk NK Crisis Toolkit https://lnkd.in/gSGK9_fS

Seeing the potential for developing nuclear energy for the US Navy, Captain Hyman Rickover initiated a research programme that culminated in the launch of USS Nautilus, the world’s first nuclear-powered submarine. Meanwhile, ballistic missile technology was developing fast, but still relied on complex liquid fuels. The US Navy partnered with the army to develop a ballistic missile for both services, but withdrew when solid fuels became a practical proposition. Under the leadership of RADM William Raborn, the US Navy set up its own project: the Polaris weapon system. In 1960, the first missile-armed nuclear-powered submarine (SSBN) left on patrol, with forty more to follow. Two years later, when Britain’s Blue Streak and Skybolt plans were cancelled, Harold Macmillan and John F. Kennedy agreed for Polaris to be supplied to the Royal Navy. #royalnavy #polaris #nuclear #nuclearsubmarine #usnavy #BallisticMissiles #NuclearDeterrence #submarine #submarines #polarisweapon #SSBN #skybolt #MissileDefense #missiles #nuclearpower #britishnavy #missile #books #military #militaryhistory #defence #militaryhistorybooks @followers @highlight

Recent social media announcements from the Houthi faction's military spokesperson emphasise their resolve to intercept vessels linked to entities supplying Israel. 🔍 The Houthi's message highlights their readiness to use missile and drone attacks on ships heading to Israel, including those via the Mediterranean, marking the fourth phase of their escalating Red Sea attacks. ⚠️ Should the Houthi forces execute their threats, it would mark a significant uptick in assaults on commercial vessels navigating the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. The implications are vast, ranging from disruptions to global supply chains to legal ramifications for the maritime industry. All stakeholders must remain vigilant and equipped to handle these evolving challenges.
