SEOUL - North Korea has conducted a “strike drill” for multiple launchers and tactical guided weapons into the East Sea in a military drill supervised by leader Kim Jong Un on Saturday, the North’s state media reported on Sunday.
Kim gave an order of firing and stressed the need to “increase the combat ability so as to defend the political sovereignty and economic self-sustenance” of North Korea in the face of threats and invasions, the report said. North Korean had maintained a freeze in nuclear and ballistic missiles testing in place since 2017, which U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly pointed out as an important achievement from his engagement with Pyongyang.
The projectiles, fired from the east coast city of Wonsan around 9 a.m. flew about 70 kms to 200 kms in a north-easterly direction, South Korea’s Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement on Saturday.
