To respond to North Korea's nuclear ballistic missiles, the South Korean military currently

1. Kill Chain - Preemptive Strike (Preemptively striking launch sites before North Korea can fire missiles)
2. KAMD - Mid-course Interception (Launching air defense missiles to intercept incoming North Korean missiles)
3. KMPR - Massive Punishment and Retaliation (South Korea launching ballistic missiles to devastate the source of provocation)
   A response system has been established with these three elements, known as the Three-Axis System.
   For reference, the Yoon Suk-yeol administration focused on Kill Chain and KAMD,
   while the Lee Jae-myung administration appears to be prioritizing KMPR.
