North Korea has announced the successful testing of a new-generation cruise missile, marking a significant advancement in its military capabilities.
The Pulhwasal-3-31 missile is still in the development phase and has been described as “strategic,” indicating potential nuclear armament, according to the official Korean Central News Agency.
The exact number of missiles fired during the test was not disclosed by KCNA.
According to the agency, the test-fire posed no threat to neighboring countries and was unrelated to the regional situation.
South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff reported detecting the launch of “several” cruise missiles from North Korea’s western coast, following recent tests of a nuclear-capable underwater attack drone and a solid-fuel intermediate-range ballistic missile.
