North Korea has allegedly tested a weapon system again. Ruler Kim Jong Un has personally overseen the test of an „extra-large multiple rocket launcher“, the state news agency KCNA reported today.
The country must drive forward the development of new strategic and tactical weapons to defend itself against „ever-increasing military threats,“ Kim was quoted as saying. The young scientists who have developed the rockets are a „precious treasure and wealth of the land that can not be exchanged for anything“.
North Korea had just tested two ballistic short-range missiles yesterday, the seventh missile test since US President Donald Trump and Kim met in June, according to South Korean military sources. Photos of North Korean state media showed missile launch from a vehicle. It will be about the already fourth new missile system, which has been presented since February.
