N Korea tested ‘tactical guided weapons’
North Korea’s state media yesterday said that leader Kim Jong Un had overseen a rocket and tactical guided weapons test, after the drill Saturday raised concerns Pyongyang was escalating provocations with US nuclear negotiations deadlocked. A return to missile launches would be likely to infuriate US President Donald Trump, but the North’s official KCNA news agency shied away from the term in its report, saying Kim had ordered a “strike drill” involving “long-range multiple rocket launchers” -- which are not targeted by UN sanctions resolutions -- and unspecified “tactical guided weapons”.
