Kim Jong Un, supreme leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), supervised Monday's ballistic rocket launching drill of the Korean People's Army (KPA) on site, said the Korean Central News Agency on Tuesday.
"Involved in the drill were Hwasong artillery units of the KPA Strategic Force tasked to strike the bases of the US imperialist aggressor forces in Japan in contingency," said the report.
The DPRK fired four missiles from an area near the Dongchang-ri long-range missile site in the western part of the country on Monday morning. The missiles flew over land before splashing into the eastern waters off the Korean Peninsula, Yonhap reported Seoul’s Joint Chiefs of Staff as saying.
The missile tests were carried out as the United States and South Korea conduct a two-month-long large-scale joint military exercise.
