North Korea Fires Cruise Missiles, Kim Vows 'Unlimited' Nuclear Development

  • Leader Kim Jong Un oversaw the drill, which was hailed as a show of "combat readiness" against foreign threats.
  • Kim called for "unlimited and sustained" development of his nuclear weapons forces.
  • The missiles flew for over two hours, hitting a target, and were fired from the Sunan area near Pyongyang.
  • This comes amidst increased missile testing, deepening ties with Russia, and recent display of a nuclear submarine by Pyongyang.
