North Korea has bolstered its reputation for military strength with the latest missile launches into its western waters. This action coincides with US President Donald Trump's visit to South Korea for a regional summit.
The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported that Tuesday's cruise missile tests were successful, with the missiles flying for over two hours and hitting their targets accurately. The agency highlighted that these weapons enhance the operational reach of North Korea's nuclear-armed forces.
The test results were released ahead of the anticipated meeting between Trump and South Korean President Lee Jae Myung. However, prospects for direct talks between Trump and Kim Jong Un seem bleak, with North Korea refusing diplomatic engagement following past disappointments.
