North Korea: Kim of is in charge of the long-range strategic cruise missile test launch
North Korea: According to official media on Monday, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un oversaw a long-range strategic cruise missile test launch and called for the “unlimited and sustained” development of state nuclear war weapons.
“The absolute reliability and combat readiness of the North’s strategic counterattack capability,” the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said of the exercise, which was conducted in the Yellow Sea on Sunday.
According to the report, the strategic cruise missiles struck a target after 10,199 and 10,203 seconds of flight along the predetermined flight orbit.
“He affirmed that the Workers’ Party of Korea and the DPRK government would as ever devote all their efforts to the unlimited and sustained development of the state nuclear combat force,” the KCNA said, referring to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, which is the official name of North Korea.
As Pyongyang faces several security challenges, Kim emphasized the significance of routinely assessing the dependability and promptness of North Korea’s nuclear deterrent components, the statement added.
North Korea may carry out further missile tests toward the end of the year, according to the South Korean military, which claimed to have detected the launch of several missiles from the Sunan area near Pyongyang at approximately 8 a.m. the day before, according to Yonhap news agency.
Kim saw the test-firing of new long-range anti-air missiles in the East Sea on Wednesday, which preceded the most recent missile launch.
In an apparent attempt to highlight the nation’s achievements in the defense sector, the North’s leader has increased his inspections of military-related locations ahead of the important party conference next year.
Kim visited an 8,700-ton “nuclear-powered strategic guided missile submarine” that was being built. He warned that the North’s security will be threatened by South Korea’s intention to create nuclear-powered submarines, which “must be countered,” according to the KCNA on Thursday.
