North Korea test-fires new anti-air missiles

Korean Central News Agency NORTH KOREAN leader Kim Jong Un, left, supervises the test-firing of anti-air missiles on Saturday.

The North's official Korean Central News Agency said that the test Saturday proved the missiles effective in countering aerial threats such as drones and cruise missiles, and that Kim assigned unspecified “important” tasks to defense scientists ahead of a major political conference expected early next year.

The report did not specify the missiles that were tested or where the event took place. It did not mention any remarks by Kim directed at Washington or Seoul.
