North Korea tested two new air defense missiles under the supervision of Kim Jong-un. The North Korean government stated that these missiles are capable of effectively countering aerial threats like drones and cruise missiles. The precise details of the missiles, along with the date and location of the test, were not made public.
The timing of the test coincides with an upcoming meeting in Washington on Monday between US President Donald Trump and South Korean President Lee Jae-myung. Kim had earlier criticized the joint military exercises conducted by the United States and South Korea.
