KCNA state news reported Monday that the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea tested a “new type” of “ultra-modern” anti-ship missile during drills held this week.

According to the KCNA report:

The rockets, which were developed at the ultra-modern level, are being deployed at the naval units of the KPA to go into action.

At an observation post he received a report on the drill plan and gave an order to start the drill.

Kim Jong Un watched with great attention the flight of the rockets on a display.

The highly intelligent rockets safely flew at the designated altitude, accurately detecting and hitting the “enemy” warship.
