North Korea conducted a test of two new air defense missiles, with Kim Jong-un overseeing the operation. According to North Korean reports, these missiles are designed to effectively counter aerial threats such as drones and cruise missiles. Details regarding the specific types of missiles tested and the exact timing and location of the test were not disclosed.
The test occurred prior to a scheduled meeting between US President Donald Trump and South Korean President Lee Jae-myung in Washington on Monday. Kim has previously condemned joint military exercises conducted by the United States and South Korea earlier this month.
