Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Adm. Kim Myung-soo on Friday inspected the military readiness at an Army missile command and an Air Force fighter wing against North Korea’s nuclear and missile threats.

Kim inspected the Army Missile Strategic Command and the Air Force 8th Fighter Wing for readiness posture on the first day of the extended Lunar New Year holiday, officials said.

During the inspection of the missile command, Kim examined the mission implementation system, and ordered soldiers to maintain an “airtight” missile response posture and firmly hit back in case of an enemy provocation, officials said.
