North Korean leader Kim Jong Un oversaw a “long-range strategic cruise missile” test on Sunday, according to state media, calling it an “exercise of war deterrence in the current situation where we are facing various security threats.”
The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported Monday that the DPRK military launched two cruise missiles on the west coast, each flying around 170 minutes before striking a target building. NK News analysis shows the target is on an island near Nampho which has been used numerous times during missile tests in recent years.
