North Korean leader Kim Jong-un attended the test-firing of a new multiple rocket launcher, ordering his military to “promptly” deploy the weapons system that can hit major military targets in South Korea, a military source said Friday.
Over the last three years, the communist state has test-fired the new multiple rocket launcher a total of 13 times, the source said.
On Thursday, the North fired six short-range projectiles toward the East Sea, apparently in anger over the United Nations’ adoption of its harshest resolution against the communist regime ever for its recent nuclear and long-range rocket tests. (Yonhap)
