North Korea has claimed to have successfully tested a new combat weapon system on Sunday, according to state media KCNA. The test, conducted by the country's Missile Administration under the direction of leader Kim Jong Un, was described as a demonstration of ultra-modern defense technology, highlighting significant progress in modernizing the nation's armed forces.
The report did not provide specific details about the type of weapon used. South Korean military officials reported on Sunday that North Korea had launched two short-range ballistic missiles from its east coast. This test occurred following Pyongyang's accusations against the United States of increasing tensions on the Korean Peninsula through various military exercises.
On Monday, the foreign ministers of South Korea, Japan, and the United States convened on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York to pledge close coordination for maintaining peace, stability, and denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula, as reported by Seoul's foreign ministry.
