#UPDATE: Iranian-backed Houthis announce ‘extensive’ attacks using Qasef-2K suicide drones against targets in King Khaled Aribase in southern Saudi Arabia, claim to target warplanes and ammo depots in the base. https://t.co/s7kVojP0SZ

"If you do not do it his way, we all die in a nuclear inferno' is an ingenious way of getting reelected. https://t.co/SY4roAUIBd

#US government is aware of reports of two short-range projectile launched from #NorthKorea — YONHAP

Refreshing to see an evening focused on PACOM instead of CENTCOM. https://t.co/YXufBH92H6

BREAKING: Trump Issues 3 Vetoes, overriding 2 Congress resolutions, and allowing Arms Sales to #Saudi Arabia and #UAE . Details soon @TheNationalUAE

Remember when 2 DPRK MiG-29s and 2 MiG-23s intercepted COBRA BALL 61-2663? Yep, 3 March 2003, 150nm off the coast. Tried to force it to land. This is one reason tracking recon act via ADS-B helps protect the crew: no doubt about its location. A bit "snug"…

In a bit of irony, the USS Antietam actually had a port call in Shanghai earlier this year. https://t.co/ie63lEhz8I

With every test, #NorthKorea not only improves its hand in future #nuclear negotiations w/the US but also pushes the region closer to having no choice but to recognize #DPRK as a nuclear power.

It’s alarmingly strategic: With Trump willing to overlook #NorthKorea’s short-range launches, Kim has focused on building weapons capable of terrorizing #SouthKorea & #Japan. He wants to divide the allies by raising the fear of conflict, pressuring neighbors…

Hmm also.. is John Bolton still in Seoul while these projectiles have been fired?

USS Boxer today (24/7/2017) caught again by Sentinel-2 satellites, here a reconstruction of her movements since entering the gulf on 18/7 up till this morning. @IntelCrab #iran

@IntelCrab Bad date in the tweet, sorry, clearly meant today 24/7/2019, dates and timing in the infographic are correct altho ;)

@IntelCrab Here USS Boxer caught by PlanetScope satellite at 06:51 GMT (24/7/2019) around 30 minutes prior to Sentinel-2 image.

#UPDATE: Looks like it’s possible an Islamic Republic of Iran Navy (IRIN) vessel, possibly a frigate (?) 🤷‍♂️, was shadowing the USS Boxer battle group heading across the Persian Gulf towards the Strait of Hormuz this morning. https://t.co/BQBQkfVCr2

Wondering about the timing of this latest 'projectile' launch from North Korea? Worth remembering that US-ROK are due to carry out military exercises in August which always angers the DPRK. The 9-2 Dong Maeng exercise is a scaled down version of the usual…

North Korea is said to have told the World Food Programme that it will refuse offers of South Korean aid because of the upcoming joint military exercises.

NK notified Thailand that Ri Yong Ho will not be attending ARF held next month, says @YonhapNews. NK's foreign minister not attending ARF is very "unusual," it says: the absence is the 1st since 2003, making the "expected Pompeo-Ri meeting off the table.…

Japan: they're short-range missiles S.Korea: unidentified projectiles https://t.co/80wlzNi2kc

Breaking. As #DongaIlbo reported earlier today of an imminent #DPRK missile test earlier, NK fires an as yet unidentified missile off Wonsan on east coast.

Launch radius of the two projectiles (KN-23s?) launched from #Wonsan, #NorthKorea earlier today.

Me: Thank heavens the North Koreans didn't launch the missiles into the waters around Dokdo. https://t.co/aeGh9L5Tlh
