North Korea says it has developed a new multiple-rocket launcher system. The new missile launcher will now be "re-evaluated" and its role on the battlefield will be increased.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un reiterated on Friday that Pyongyang would not hesitate to "put an end" to South Korea if it was attacked. South Korean President Yoon Suk-yul pledged to respond forcefully to any attack from Pyongyang, calling on his army to “move first and report later” if provoked.
