The Academy of Defence Science of the DPRK succeeded in test-firing a new-type SLBM Pukguksong-3 in the waters off Wonsan Bay in the East Sea of Korea on the morning of October 2.

The new-type missile was fired in vertical mode.

The test-firing scientifically and technically confirmed the key tactical and technical indexes of the newly-designed ballistic missile, it had no adverse impact on the security of neighbouring countries.

The leading officials of the Workers' Party of Korea and in the field of the national defence scientific research, who guided the test-firing on the spot, informed the WPK Central Committee of the result of the successful test-firing.

Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un sent warm congratulations on behalf of the WPK Central Committee to the national defence scientific research units that involved in the test-firing.

The successful test-firing of the new-type SLBM is of great significance as it ushered in a new phase in containing the outside forces' threats to the DPRK and further bolstering up its military muscle for self-defence.
