North Korean media say yesterday North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has conducted firefighting drills for long-range artillery battalions below the frontline.

Chosun Central Broadcasting Center said Kim visited the training center yesterday and the Park Chief Chun chief of staff was welcomed locally.

The media said, "Kim ordered the initiation of the shooting."

The Joint Chiefs yesterday captured two short-range projectiles fired from the Wonsan area in the east-east direction around 12:37 noon.

The joint venture yesterday estimated the projectile as a short-range ballistic missile.

The projectile is detected at a range of 240 kilometers and an altitude of approximately 35 kilometers, similar to the large-caliber maneuvering cannon launched last summer.
