North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un Oversees Rocket Launch Test with Daughter

Pyongyang. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un observed the test launch of a multiple rocket launcher system capable of firing numerous rockets at once, accompanied by his teenage daughter. This was reported by the state news agency Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) on Sunday.

According to the report, Kim and his daughter observed the test firing exercise on Saturday, which involved launching 12 high-precision 600mm caliber rockets toward North Korea's east coast. This test is believed to be in response to ongoing joint military exercises, which North Korea interprets as practice for an invasion.

Meanwhile, South Korea's military detected approximately 10 ballistic missiles launched from the area around North Korea's capital toward the East Sea on Saturday. South Korea's National Security Council criticized these launches as provocative acts. Furthermore, South Korea stated that the latest test violates United Nations Security Council resolutions, which prohibit North Korea from engaging in any form of ballistic activity.

According to KCNA, Kim stated that the exercise would make enemies within a range of 420 kilometers uncomfortable and demonstrate the destructive power of tactical nuclear weapons.

It is reported that he was indirectly targeting South Korea and the US forces stationed there. Kim said, 'If this weapon is used, no enemy military structure within its range will be able to escape under any circumstances.'
