  "summary": "North Korea announced on Thursday that it had conducted tests of two types of submarine-launched strategic cruise missiles in the East Sea, according to the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). The test-fire aimed to demonstrate the capabilities of North Korea's underwater combat systems and enhance the Navy's proficiency in executing strategic missions, showcasing the country's formidable war deterrent. Kim Jong-sil, a member of the Central Military Commission of the Workers' Party of Korea, oversaw the test, alongside Jang Chang-ha, the director-general of the Missile Administration and the Navy's underwater weapon system engineers. The Rodong Sinmun, North Korea's most widely read newspaper, did not cover the launch. This comes in the wake of North Korea's previous test-firing of tactical ballistic missiles from the Pyongyang area towards the East Sea on Monday, which the regime claimed was meant to confirm the success of recent developments in its missile program.",
