The operation was conducted in response to joint military activity by US and South Korean forces.
An unspecified number of North Korean cruise missiles were reportedly launched towards the Yellow Sea at around 4am local time on Saturday.
“A firing drill for simulated tactical nuclear attack was conducted at dawn of September 2 to warn the enemies of the actual nuclear war danger,” KCNA reported. KCNA said the US and South Korea were pursuing “confrontation hysteria” with their latest joint military drills.
