Pyongyang [North Korea], August 25: North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has overseen the firing of two new air defence missiles, state media reported, announcing that the tests showed the weapons had "superior combat capability".
The report on Sunday comes a day before United States President Donald Trump meets his South Korean counterpart, Lee Jae-myung, in Washington, DC.
North Korea's Korean Central News Agency said the tests showed that the missiles demonstrated a "fast response" to aerial targets such as attack drones and cruise missiles. The launches also come as South Korea and the US continue their annual joint military drills. (Agencies)
