North Korea poses a significant threat with its conventional artillery strikes, in addition to its missile launches, warns Naoko Aoki from the Rand Corporation. Despite North Korea's inferior military capabilities compared to the US and South Korean forces, it has the ability to cause immense damage to South Korea. The country has thousands of artillery systems within range of South Korean population centers, and if used against civilian targets, could potentially kill more than 10,000 people in an hour. Additionally, key industrial facilities and the South Korean economy could be severely harmed by even brief attacks.
