Tuesday’s missile launch, the North’s fourth in less than two weeks, came amid stalled denuclearization talks with Washington and the US-South Korea military exercises. The “new-type tactical guided missiles”, launched from the western area of North Korea, flew across the peninsula to “precisely hit the targeted islet” in the sea off the North’s east coast, KCNA said, adding that the launches “clearly verified the reliability, security and actual war capacity” of the weapon.
