North Korea says it conducted ‘firepower attack drill’

North Korea recently conducted a firepower attack drill, involving long-range artillery and missiles, according to state media reports. The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) stated that the drill took place on Saturday and involved combined units at all levels of the Korean People's Army. South Korea had reported earlier that North Korea had fired multiple ballistic missiles from the Wonsan area towards the East Sea, or Sea of Japan, a day after concluding joint maritime drills with the United States and Japan.

The KCNA report highlighted the use of new combat systems, including attack drones, tactical cruise missiles, large-calibre thermal-pressure multiple rocket launchers, and tactical ballistic missiles, which demonstrated the "huge destructive power of concentrated fire" with 100% hit accuracy.
