Kim's 'great satisfaction' over sixth missile test in three weeks
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has expressed"great satisfaction" over the"amazing success" of his country's missile programme after another test on Friday, according to state run media.
The North Korean leader was seen in a newly released photo smiling as several apparently senior military officers stand around him laughing, clapping and pointing at a screen. On the same day, another photo was released showing the apparent test firing of a new missile - in the sixth round of launches since late July.Analysts say the launches are attempts to pressure Washington and Seoul over slow nuclear negotiations and their joint military exercises.
Kim was reported by Pyongyang's Korean Central News Agency to have said his military's"mysterious and amazing success rates" in recent testing activity would lead to"invincible military capabilities no one dare provoke".
