North Korean leader Kim Jong Un oversaw the test of a "super-large multiple rocket launcher", state news agency KCNA reported on Sunday (August 25).
North Korea fired what appeared to be two short-range ballistic missiles into the sea off its east coast on Saturday (August 24), the South Korean military said, the latest in a series of launches in recent weeks amid stalled denuclearization talks.
Photos released by KCNA showed rockets launching from large tubes mounted on the back of an eight-wheel vehicle.
North Korea must step up development of new strategic and tactical weapons to counter "ever-mounting military threats and pressure offensive of the hostile forces," Kim said on Saturday, according to KCNA.
