The missiles traveled some 1,500 kilometers before hitting a target in the sea, a KCNA report says.
SEOUL, South Korea – Nuclear-armed North Korea test-fired two strategic cruise missiles from a submarine on Sunday, March 12, state news agency KCNA said on Monday just as US-South Korea military drills were due to begin.KCNA said the launch confirmed the reliability of the system and tested the underwater offensive operations of submarine units that form part of North Korea’s nuclear deterrent.
On Monday, South Korean and American troops were scheduled to begin 11 days of joint drills, dubbed “Freedom Shield 23,” which will be held on a scale not seen since 2017. North Korea has long bristled over drills they regard as a rehearsal for invasion. It has conducted a record number of missile tests and drills in the past year in what it says is an effort to boost its nuclear deterrent and make more weapons fully operational.
