North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un oversaw the successful test firing of the new submarine-launched strategic cruise missile “Pulhwasal-3-31.” The missile, launched over the East Sea for durations of 123 and 124 minutes, posed no threat to neighboring countries, according to a statement from North Korea. Kim Jong-Un, expressing satisfaction with the test, received detailed information on the construction of nuclear submarines and other warships. Kim underscored the imperative of strengthening North Korea’s navy for maritime sovereignty defense, deeming naval access to nuclear weapons a “fundamental necessity” for the nation’s nuclear strategic power.
