Pyongyang: A day after North Korea fired unidentified short-range projectiles into the East Sea, their leader Kim Jong-un supervised the “strike drill” of defence units to test their performance, state media reported.
“The purpose of the drill was to estimate and inspect the operating ability and the accuracy of striking duty performance of large-calibre long-range multiple rocket launchers and tactical guided weapons by defence units in the frontline area and on the eastern front,” said state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
North Korea on Saturday fired several unidentified short-range projectiles from its eastern coastal town of Wonsan into the East Sea. They flew about 70 kilometres to 200 kilometres, reported Yonhap News agency.
Despite this, United States President Donald Trump reaffirmed confidence in the North Korean leader, saying that “he won’t break his promise.” “Anything in this very interesting world is possible, but I believe that Kim Jong Un fully realizes the great economic potential of North Korea, and will do nothing to interfere or end it. He also knows that I am with him and does not want to break his promise to me. Deal will happen!” Trump tweeted.
Saturday’s weapons tests were the most serious by the Asian country since it launched the Hwasong-15 intercontinental ballistic missiles in November 2017, The New York Times reported.
