Kim Jong-un oversees hypersonic missile drill
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un personally supervised the launch of an intermediate-range strategic missile from the DPRK’s eastern region toward the East Sea of Korea, KCNA reported.
The drill tested the reliability, mobility and combat readiness of the country’s hypersonic strategic weapon system. KCNA said the missile flew 1,000 km before hitting its designated target.
“Through today’s launching drill, the strategic missile soldiers have fully demonstrated their professional qualifications and counterattack posture,” Kim Jong-un said.
He added that the DPRK would continue strengthening its nuclear deterrent, calling it “indispensable for protecting national security and stability.”
