North Korea has conducted a combined firepower strike drill involving long-range artillery and missile units. According to the Korean Central News Agency, the exercise was carried out two days before the report was made and brought together subunits selected from five joint artillery and missile units.
The drill involved various new combat systems, including attack drones, tactical cruise missiles, large-caliber thermal-pressure multiple rocket launchers, and tactical ballistic missiles.
The exercise was detected after South Korea, the United States, and Japan wrapped up a trilateral military exercise, with South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff detecting multiple ballistic missiles launched from North Korea's Wonsan area toward the East Sea on Saturday, according to The Korea Times.
