The recent missile test conducted by North Korea involved two new air defense missiles, and was personally supervised by Kim Jong-un. North Korean authorities claim these missiles are designed to neutralize aerial threats, specifically targeting drones and cruise missiles. However, the exact types of missiles, along with the specifics of when and where the test took place, remain undisclosed.
This test took place before a meeting between US President Donald Trump and South Korean President Lee Jae-myung in Washington, scheduled for Monday. Kim has previously expressed disapproval of the joint military drills carried out by the US and South Korea this month.
