North Korea Tests Submarine-Launched Cruise Missiles as Kim Jong Un Expands Military

North Korea has test-fired submarine-launched cruise missiles, according to state media KCNA, in another demonstration of the country’s expanding military capabilities. The tests were reportedly conducted off the country’s eastern coast and observed by senior military officials. Pyongyang said the launches were intended to assess naval mission capabilities and strengthen the reliability of its strategic deterrence systems. The tests come amid continued international concerns over North Korea’s weapons development and regional security in East Asia. Submarine-launched missiles can complicate defence planning by adding another potential launch platform.
