North Korea announced that it has test-fired a new type of tactical guided weapon
SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea has test-fired a “new-type tactical guided weapon,” its state media announced Thursday, a move that could be an attempt to register the country’s displeasure with currently deadlocked nuclear talks with the United States without causing those coveted negotiations to collapse.
The Associated Press could not immediately and independently verify North Korea’s claim of the weapons test, and it wasn’t immediately clear what had been tested. The North said that Kim mounted an observation post to learn about the test-fire of the new-type tactical guided weapon and to guide the test-fire.
The White House said it was aware of the report and had no comment. The Pentagon said it was aware of the reports but has no information to provide at this point.
