North Korea: North Korea said it successfully tested a new weapon, overseen by leader Kim Jong Un, state-run television KRT reported on Tuesday.
Kim said the test on Sunday, carried out by North Korea’s Missile Administration, was a demonstration of “ultra-modern” defence technology and showed clear progress in the modernisation of its armed forces, according to state media.
The report from state media did not specify the type of weapon tested.
The South Korean military said on Sunday that North Korea had fired two short-range ballistic missiles off its east coast.
