This is the best summary I could come up with:
North Korea’s KCNA news agency said Saturday the country conducted a “super large” cruise missile warhead test along with a launch of its new anti-aircraft missile in the West Sea of Korea.
“Both tests were part of the regular activities of the administration and its affiliated defense science institutes for the rapid development of technologies in various aspects such as tactical and technical performance and operation of new-type weapon systems,” KCNA reported.
North Korea had reported conducting similar tests in February, but had not specified the names of the missiles.
Pyongyang has ramped up weapons tests in recent times, as tensions between Seoul and Washington have risen.
North Korea’s Kim Jong Un and Russian President Vladimir Putin are close allies with deepening ties.
Pyongyang could benefit from military cooperation with Moscow, especially in regards to its anti-aircraft missile technology, analysts say.
