Seoul: North Korea has tested “super-large” multiple rocket launchers, Pyongyang’s state media reported on Monday, a day after South Korea’s military said the country fired what appeared to be two short-range ballistic missiles.

The South Korean military said on Sunday that the missiles were fired from the eastern coastal city of Wonsan, flying 230 km with a maximum altitude of 30 km, reports the Seoul-based Yonhap News Agency.

The launches marked the latest in a series of weapons tests or artillery firing drills the North has conducted this year.

In its report on Monday, Pyongyang’s state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said that Sunday’s test was designed “to verify once again the tactical and technological specifications of the launch system to be delivered to units of the Korean People’s Army”.

“The test-fire was conducted successfully,” it added. (IANS)
