General Secretary Kim Jong Un’s Revolutionary Activities

A long-range strategic cruise missile launching drill was staged on the West Sea of Korea on December 28.

The drill was aimed at checking the counter-offensive response posture and combat capability of long-range missile sub-units, making missile soldiers proficient in manoeuvres and procedures of fulfilling firing missions, and inspecting the reliability of the relevant strategic weapon system.

Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, oversaw the strategic cruise missile launching drill.

The strategic cruise missiles flew along the flight path set in the sky above the West Sea of Korea for 10 199s and 10 203s to hit the target.

Comrade Kim Jong Un expressed great satisfaction, saying that the result of the drill is the practical verification and clear demonstration of the absolute reliability and combat efficiency of the country’s strategic counterattack capability.

He stressed that checking the reliability and rapid reactions of the components of the DPRK's nuclear deterrent on a regular basis and steadily demonstrating its might are just a responsible exercise of the right to self-defence and war deterrence under the present situation in which the country is exposed to various security threats.

He affirmed that the Workers' Party of Korea and the DPRK government would as ever devote all efforts to the unlimited and sustained development of the state nuclear combat forces.
