Kim Jong-un has warned he is ready to mass-produce missiles capable of reaching US military bases after North Korea’s latest test launch.
The dictator watched on as his Pukguksong-2 missile flew 310 miles and reached a height of 350 miles before plunging into the Pacific Ocean on Sunday.
Kim smiled broadly as the rocket was fired near the county of Pukchang in South Phyongan province and posed for pictures with military officials, even appearing to throw some bizarre gang signs with his hands.
He later hailed the trial as a success, ‘approved the deployment of this weapon system for action’ and said that it should ‘be rapidly mass-produced.’
US President Donald Trump, travelling in Saudi Arabia, had no immediate public comment.
The North Korean leader ordered the launch and watched from an observation post, state media reported Monday.
The Korea Central News Agency said the test verified technical aspects of the weapon system and examined its ‘adaptability under various battle conditions’ before it is deployed to military units.
‘Viewing the images of the Earth being sent real-time from the camera mounted on the ballistic missile, Supreme leader Kim Jong Un said it feels grand to look at the Earth from the rocket we launched and the entire world looks so beautiful,’ KCNA said.
North Korea has significantly accelerated its missile tests over the past year or so and appears to be making tangible progress toward developing an arsenal that poses a threat not only to South Korea and Japan – which together host about 80,000 U.S. troops – but also toward an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of reaching the mainland United States.
