Pyongyang, September 19 (KCNA) -- The Missile Administration of the DPRK successfully conducted test-fires of the new-type tactical ballistic missile Hwasongpho-11-Da-4.5 and an improved strategic cruise missile on Wednesday. The new-type tactical ballistic missile was tipped with a 4.5 tonnage super-large conventional warhead according to design. Its test-fire was aimed at verifying the accuracy of hit at medium range of 320 km and explosive power of the super-large warhead with a missile loaded with such a warhead. The administration also conducted a test-fire of strategic cruise missile whose performance has been highly upgraded for its combat use.

Only when we have strong power, can we contain and frustrate the enemies' strategic misjudgment and will to use armed forces, he said, adding this is a true deterrent for defending peace and stability. He also oversaw several kinds of small arms including a 7.62 mm sniper rifle and a 5.56 mm automatic rifle developed by the Academy of Defence Sciences and set forth the orientation of production and the important tasks for further increasing technical foundation of the factory.
