Monday’s military exercise was directed by the country’s leader, Kim Jong-un. The purpose of the exercise was to test “super large” missile launchers capable of launching missiles with nuclear warheads, which in terms of their immediate counterattack capability play an important role in strengthening the state’s nuclear forces, KCNA said, adding that
the exercise is a clear warning to enemies provoking the country.
During the exercise, units of the North Korean army practiced the preparedness that would come into effect in the event of a nuclear emergency of the highest level and the execution of retaliatory strikes. The rockets hit the designated island precisely from a distance of 352 kilometers, KCNA added.
According to the news agency, Kim was extremely satisfied with the results of the military exercise and called for the army to make further efforts to deter war and to be able to take control of initiating war at any time and in any sudden situation.
According to MTI, South Korea’s military reported on Monday that Pyongyang fired several short-range ballistic missiles towards the Sea of Japan.
