North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un oversaw a "successful test" of a super-large multiple launch rocket system and expressed "great satisfaction," state media said on Thursday.
North Korea fired two short-range projectiles into the sea off its east coast on Thursday in what appeared to be the latest try out of its new multiple rocket launchers following three previous tests, South Korea's military said.
Pyongyang's official KCNA news agency confirmed the launch was aimed at finally examining the combat application of the weapon, which proved its "military and technical superiority and its firm reliability".
