North Korea announced Tuesday that it had test-fired sea-to-surface cruise missiles ahead of U.S. President Donald Trump’s trip to South Korea.
The China-backed U.S. adversary said the missile was fired into its western waters. North Korea’s state-controlled Korean Central News Agency described the test as a success, saying that the weapons would contribute to expanding the operational sphere of the regime’s nuclear-armed military.
