North Korea test-fired a new 'long-range cruise missile' over the weekend, state media reported Monday, calling it a 'strategic weapon of great significance' amid a long standoff with the United States over its nuclear programme.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has steadfastly pursued nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programmes despite international sanctions North Korea test-fired a new "long-range cruise missile" over the weekend, state media reported Monday, with the United States saying the nuclear-armed country was threatening its neighbours and beyond.
Its report called the missile a "strategic weapon of great significance", adding the tests were successful and it gave the country "another effective deterrence means" against "hostile forces". But Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi is due in Seoul on Tuesday and Park added: "By choosing cruise missiles, North Korea is trying not to provoke the US and China too much."Jeffrey Lewis of the Middlebury Institute for International Studies tweeted that the reported missiles would be capable of delivering a warhead against targets "throughout South Korea and Japan".
They came days after a scaled-back parade in Pyongyang to mark the 73rd anniversary of the country's founding. But the impoverished North has never shown any indication it would be willing to surrender its nuclear arsenal, and has rebuffed South Korean efforts to revive dialogue.
