It is noted that according to the DPRK media, the firing was carried out successfully.

We are talking about a weapon that is designed to "increase the firepower of advanced long-range artillery units [complexes]."

Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry expressed concern about the situation on the Korean Peninsula against the background of the launch of a ballistic missile by North Korea.

As Anna Evstigneeva, Russian Deputy Representative to the UN, noted, it is futile to expect complete disarmament from North Korea without providing security guarantees for the DPRK.
