North Korea's media reported on the 24th that it successfully conducted a 'newly researched and developed ultra-array gun test shot' under the direction of Kim Jong-un.

The Chosun Central News Agency said, "The defense scientists and the working class in the military industry have created an unprecedented miracle of researching and developing the world's strongest Korean super-armored artillery with significant significance in strengthening the country's defense power."

North Korea fired two projectiles on the East Sea at dawn in Seondeok, South Hamgyong province on the 24th.

The projectile had a maximum altitude of 97 km, a flight of about 380 km and a maximum speed of Mach 6.5 or higher, the Joint Chiefs of Staff said.

It is the first time that the name of a weapon called 'super large-sized artillery' has appeared in the North Korean media since North Korea's recent short-range launch.

North Korea used the expression `` Daegu light-controlled artillery '' for short-range projectiles fired on the 2nd of this month.

"The test shots verified that all the tactical technical characteristics of the super-armor artillery weapon system had accurately reached the planned indicators."

Kim, who observed the launch, said, "We will continue to develop our own strategic tactical weapons that will firmly crush the hostile military threats and pressure offensive of hostile forces by launching unrelenting attacks to elevate our strength to the level we require. "You have to stop strong."

In response to the weapons development process, Mr. Kim put the defense industry at the 'world's strongest' in line with the demands of 'the best interests of the revolution, the characteristics of modern warfare, and the military political situation that is extremely sharpened around the Korean peninsula'. He also mentioned that he planned to raise.

The news agency said, "The immortal patriotic memorandum of our supreme leader comrades who provided the strongest anti-war suppression in any turmoil will shine along with the history of the victory of the Korean Labor Party."
