‘We remain confident that the promises made by President Trump and Chairman Kim will be fulfilled.’
As talks between the United States and North Korea appear to be getting bogged down, North Korea upped the pressure with talk of a highly successful weapons test supervised in person by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
The few details of the supposed weapon were shared by the Korean Central News Agency, which is run by the North Korean government.
It said Kim oversaw tests of a “newly developed ultramodern tactical weapon” without going into any detail over what the weapon could be, or where Kim went to supervise the test.
Kim expressed “great satisfaction” over the “state-of-the-art” weapon that “builds impregnable defenses of our country and strengthens the fighting power of our people’s army,” the North Korean news agency said.
The last time Kim personally oversaw a weapons test was November 2017, when he attended the launch of the Hwasong-15 intercontinental ballistic missile.

Eugene Lee, a spokeswoman for South Korea’s Unification Ministry, said more information is needed to determine what was tested.
American officials did not detect any missile launch, according to ABC .
Other accounts suggested that by “tactical weapon” North Korea could mean a piece of artillery or a multiple rocket launcher.
