On Friday North Korea conducted a cruise missile warhead test and test launch of its new anti-aircraft missile in the West Sea of Korea, according to the media reports.
North Korea conducted a power test of a super-large warhead designed for the ‘Hwasal-1 Ra-3’ strategic cruise missile and a test launch of the ‘Pyoljji-1-2’ new-type anti-aircraft missile.
Both tests were part of the activities of the administration and its defence science institutes for developing technologies in many aspects such as tactical and technical performance and operation of new-type weapon systems.
This launch came after North Korea’s Leader Kim Jong Un said now was the time to be more prepared for war than ever. Outlining the international situation and unstable military and political situation around the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, he said that now is the time to be more prepared for a war than ever before.
Kim said to the university staff that if the enemy opted for a military confrontation with North Korea, the country would deal a death blow to the enemy without hesitation.
In the current years, Pyongyang has stepped up weapons development. Its cruise missile is believed to be designed to carry a nuclear warhead. South Korea, Japan, and the United States, which report large missile tests they detect from North Korea, did not mention of Friday’s launch.
