North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has overseen the test-firing of the country’s latest anti-aircraft missile system, according to state media, as Russia’s security chief arrived in Pyongyang for talks.
The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported on Friday that the latest test proved that the new weapons are “highly reliable”, adding that the country’s combat response was “advantageous”.
The announcement came just a day after South Korea wrapped up an annual joint military exercise with the US, which Pyongyang separately denounced on Friday as “a rehearsal of war of aggression”.
KCNA said Thursday’s test conducted by North Korea’s Missile Administration was to examine the performance of a system whose production has already begun. (Aljazeera)
