BREAKING: Kim Jong Un oversees test of new tactical guided weapon
SEOUL - North Korean leader Kim Jong Un oversaw the testing of a new type of tactical guided weapon on Wednesday, state media Korean Central News Agency said on Thursday.
KCNA did not describe exactly what the weapon is, including whether it was a missile or another type of weapon, but"tactical" implies a short-range weapon, as opposed to the long-range ballistic missiles that have been seen as a threat to the United States.Kim said"the completion of the development of the weapon system serves as an event of very weighty significance in increasing the combat power" of the North Korean army, according to KCNA.
Last year, Kim had said North Korea will stop nuclear tests and launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles, because Pyongyang's nuclear capabilities had been"verified."
