North Korea has successfully tested a range of tactical ballistic missiles, artillery rockets, and precision cruise missiles, as reported by the state news agency KCNA. These tests, conducted under the supervision of leader Kim Jong Un, are part of North Korea's ongoing efforts to modernize its military capabilities. The tests specifically evaluated the effectiveness of a 'special mission warhead' on tactical ballistic missiles, the reliability of long-range artillery rockets, and the accuracy of AI-guided cruise missiles. Kim stated that these advancements are aimed at enhancing the combat application of North Korea's arsenal, particularly with cruise missiles that can strike targets within 100 km (62 miles) of the Demilitarized Zone, putting central Seoul within range. Additionally, North Korea's military has been reported to supply weapons to Russia, potentially gaining valuable battlefield data in return. The South Korean military confirmed the detection of multiple projectiles launched from the North, heightening tensions in the region.
