North Korea is celebrating its successes in the testing of 'sea-surface' cruise missiles. These missiles struck targets accurately, flying for over two hours. Such success allows the country to raise its military potential, especially ahead of U.S. President Donald Trump's visit to South Korea for a regional summit.
'This is yet another confirmation of the growing military potential as U.S. President Donald Trump heads to South Korea for a regional summit,' the statement noted.
So far, South Korean military officials have not confirmed the missile launches. However, North Korea believes that these missiles will help expand the operational scope of its nuclear forces and strengthen the country's military fleet.
Development of Intercontinental Ballistic Missile
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un also announced the development of 'powerful secret weapons.' According to South Korean President Lee Myung-bak, North Korea has completed the creation of an intercontinental ballistic missile that is expected to reach U.S. territory and conduct a nuclear strike there.
North Korea continues to demonstrate its military potential through testing nuclear and ballistic missiles. This is a concerning signal for the international community, especially in connection with the U.S. President's visit to the region.
