State media says air defense system now in full production
North Korea has successfully tested its latest surface-to-air missile, state-run media reported Friday.
The test, conducted by the Missile Administration, aimed to evaluate the combat performance of the newly developed air defense system, which has now entered full-scale production, according to the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
Leader Kim Jong-un was present for the launch, though details regarding the missile's designation and test location were not disclosed.
State-released images showed the missile hitting a target over the sea and detonating midair.
North Korea previously tested its "Byolji-1-2" surface-to-air missile during joint US-South Korea military exercises in April 2024.
