DPRK leader Kim Jong Un guided the test-fire at the central monitoring post, according to the official KCNA news agency, which lauded the new weapons as "another shining success" in the efforts to manufacture "high-precision, lighter, automatic and intelligent weapons and equipment."

The test-fire also helped the Korean People's Army get "the master key" to producing world-class short-, medium- and long-range guided weapons and maximizing their striking precision and power, the KCNA added.

Kim "expressed great satisfaction" with the results and expressed the belief that his country would "manufacture more ultra-precision tactical guided weapons capable of taking the decisive initiative in any operation and battle of modern warfare," it said.
