Three of the four missiles came down provocatively close to Japan, in waters that are part of Tokyo’s exclusive economic zone.
SEOUL: North Korea’s launch of four missiles on Monday (Mar 6) was a training exercise for a strike on US bases in Japan, Pyongyang’s official KCNA news agency reported Tuesday.
Leader Kim Jong-Un supervised the drill and gave the order for it to start, it said.
« Feasting his eyes on the trails of ballistic rockets », he praised the Hwasong artillery unit that carried it out, KCNA reported.
« The four ballistic rockets launched simultaneously are so accurate that they look like acrobatic flying corps in formation, he said, » the agency added, referring to Kim.
