SEOUL—North Korean leader Kim Jong Un oversaw firing drills involving “newly-equipped super-large” multiple rocket launchers, state media said Tuesday, a day after Seoul said Pyongyang had fired several short-range ballistic missiles.
The super-large multiple rocket launcher, referred to as KN-25 by the Seoul-Washington military, is a short-range ballistic missile, according to South Korea’s Yonhap news agency.- Advertisement - Kim said the multiple rocket launcher would help the North “block and suppress the possiblity of war with the constant perfect preparedness to collapse the capital of the enemy”, according to the report.
State media images showed Kim, wearing his customary black leather jacket, watching the drills with his generals and celebrating their apparent success with a raised fist. Monday’s ballistic missile test was the North’s second this year, after Pyongyang launched one tipped with a maneuverable hypersonic warhead on Jan. 14.
