SEOUL: The Korean Central News Agency says North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has supervised a test-firing of ‘newly developed super-large multiple rocket launcher.’
The report stated that weapons test was successful and cited Kim as saying the rocket launcher is ‘indeed a great weapon.’
The report likely referred to the projectile launches that South Korea detected on Saturday morning.
South Korea’s military said North Korea fired two suspected short-range ballistic missiles off its east coast and that they flew about 380 kilometers (236 miles) at the maximum altitude of 97 kilometers (60 miles).
