A relevant sub-unit of the Korean People's Army's combined missile unit in the western area conducted a strategic cruise missile launching drill on the West Sea of Korea on the morning of February 26.
The purpose of the launching drill was to let the enemies, who are fostering and escalating the confrontation environment while seriously violating the security environment of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, know the KPA's counterattack capability in any space and the readiness of its various nuke operation means, to demonstrate the reliability of the state nuclear deterrent and to make the strategic cruise missile sub-units get adept in fulfilling their sudden firing mission.
Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the DPRK, oversaw the launching drill.
He was accompanied by Full General Kim Jong Sik, member of the Central Military Commission of the WPK, and Full General Jang Chang Ha, general director of the DPRK Missile Administration.
The strategic cruise missiles precisely hit the targets after making flights along a 1 587km-long oval trajectory for 7 961 and 7 973 seconds.
Expressing satisfaction over the result of the launching drill, Kim Jong Un said that continuously testing the reliability and operability of the components of nuclear deterrent of the DPRK and demonstrating their power is itself a responsible exercise of its war deterrent.
What is guaranteed by a powerful striking ability is the most perfect deterrent and defence capability, he said, stressing that it is the responsible mission and duty of the DPRK's nuclear forces to durably defend the national sovereignty and security with the reliable nuclear shield by making them more thoroughly ready for combat and fully prepared for their use.
