Pyongyang, July 05 (QNA) – North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has overseen tests of strategic cruise missiles and other weapons from a new 5,000-ton naval destroyer, ordering the warship to be commissioned into the Navy within two months, state media reported Sunday.
Kim observed tests of cruise missiles, naval artillery, automatic guns and electronic warfare means from the destroyer Kang Kon on Friday, according to the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
In June last year, North Korea launched the destroyer Kang Kon, about one month after it had tipped over during its initial launch attempt.
The South Korean military said Sunday it detected the North’s firing of cruise weapons from the warship toward the East Sea on Friday, and Seoul and Washington are analyzing the specifics.
The North’s leader called for further speeding up efforts to expand the country’s war deterrent and capability to fight a war. (QNA)
