This is the best summary I could come up with:
South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the launch was made on Monday morning, but gave no further details, including how far the weapon traveled.
It called the drill an Asian version of NATO that openly destroys the security environment on the Korean Peninsula and contained a U.S. intention to exert pressure on Russia and lay siege to China.
The North’s Foreign Ministry said it will “firmly defend the sovereignty, security and interests of the state and peace in the region through offensive and overwhelming countermeasures.”
Both launches came after Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed a comprehensive strategic partnership agreement during a summit in Pyongyang in a bid to expand their economic and military cooperation and cement a united front against Washington.
Meanwhile, North Korea opened a key ruling party meeting Friday to determine what it called “important, immediate issues” related to works to further enhance Korean-style socialism.
On the meeting’s second-day session Saturday, Kim Jong Un spoke about “some deviations obstructing” the county’s efforts to improve its economic status and unspecified important tasks for resolving immediate policy issues, North Korea’s state media reported Sunday.
