Military/ N. Korea
North Korean state newspaper Rodong Sinmun released images on 7 February showing
a new type of surface-to-surface missile (SSM) being fired from a
surface-effects ship (SES) from the Korean People's Navy (KPN) Eastern Fleet.
The images, which showed
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in attendance, were accompanied by an article
translated by the English-language website KCNA Watch. The article noted that
the test-firing proved in a "scientific" way that the capabilities of
the long-rumoured vessel and its weapons system had reached design and engineering
specifications.
The article said that the
missile will be deployed on other naval vessels in due course, adding that the
weapon's arrival had precipitated a change in operational tactics.
