North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has overseen another test of a multiple rocket launcher his country aims to put into service starting this year, state media reported Saturday.
North Korea's Korean Central News Agency, KCNA, said Friday's test confirmed the "advantages and destructive power" of the multiple rocket launcher and its projectiles.
The KNCA said the system, which the North has tested twice this year, will be put into use by combat units from 2024 to 2026 to replace aging missile launchers.
In recent months, North Korea has kept up an accelerated pace of weapons testing as it aims to boost its military capabilities at a time of diplomatic spats with the United States and South Korea.
Experts say Kim's aim is to pressure the US to finally accept the idea that North Korea is a nuclear power and to sit down and talk with it about economic and security concessions. / REL
