Kim praised his military's 'mysterious and amazing success rates' in weapons testing and vowed to build 'capabilities no one dare provoke.'
North Korea on Saturday said leader Kim Jong Un supervised another test-firing of an unspecified new weapon that extended a streak of weapons demonstrations seen as an attempt to pressure Washington and Seoul over slow nuclear negotiations and their joint military exercises.
KCNA did not describe what Friday’s weapons were or how they performed, but it said the tests were successful and strengthened the military’s confidence in the reliability of the system.Pyongyang’s official Rodong Sinmun newspaper published photos that showed what appeared to be a missile soaring from a launcher installed on a vehicle and striking what appeared to be a coastal target, and Kim jubilantly raising his fist while celebrating with military officials.
Experts say President Trump’s repeated downplaying of the North’s launches allowed the country more room to intensify its testing activity and advance its short-range weaponry while it seeks to build leverage ahead of nuclear negotiations with Washington, which could resume after the end of ongoing allied military drills later this month.
