North Korea says that leader Kim Jong Un has supervised firing drills involving the country’s nuclear-capable “super-large” multiple rocket launchers to show the country’s capabilities to carry out preemptive attacks on rival South Korea
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un supervised firing drills involving nuclear-capable “super-large” multiple rocket launchers to show the country’s ability to carry out preemptive attacks on rival South Korea, state media reported Friday. The firing exercises are an apparent reference to the suspected barrage of ballistic missile test-launches that South Korea said North Korea conducted on Thursday.
That refers to a South Korean aerial exercise performed hours before North Korea's failed spy satellite launch on Monday night. If successful, North Korea would have placed its second spy satellite into orbit. The multiple rocket launchers are one of North Korea's main weapons systems targeting South Korea. North Korea says weapons fired from the launchers can carry tactical nuclear warheads.
