The Academy of Defence Science of the DPRK made a test fire for updating the long-distance cruise missile system and a test fire for confirming the might of conventional warhead of the ground-to-ground tactical guided missile respectively on January 25 and 27.

The tests of the important weapons were guided on the spot by officials of the Munitions Industry Department of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea and leading officials of the Academy of Defence Science.

The Academy of Defence Science made the test fire for updating the long-distance cruise missile system on January 25.

The launched two long-distance cruise missiles made a flight for 9,137 seconds along the set flight orbit on the East Sea of Korea and hit the target island 1,800 kilometres away.

The practical combat performance of the long-distance cruise missile system will bear a part in strengthening the war deterrent of the country.

The Academy of Defence Science made the test fire for confirming the might of conventional warhead of the ground-to- ground tactical guided missile on January 27.

The launched two tactical guided missiles precisely hit the target island and it was confirmed that the explosive power of the conventional warhead meets the demand of its design.

The Academy of Defence Science made clear that its missile warhead research institute will, in the future, too, continue to develop powerful warheads capable of performing different combat functions and missions.

The results of the successful test fires of the weapon systems were reported to the Party Central Committee and they were highly appreciated.
