Pyongyang, December 29 (KCNA) -- A long-range strategic cruise missile launching drill was staged in the West Sea of Korea on Dec. 28.

The launching drill was aimed at checking the counter-offensive response posture and combat capability of long-range missile sub-units, making missile soldiers well versed in maneuver and procedures of fulfilling firing missions and inspecting the reliability of the relevant strategic weapon system.

Kim Jong Un , general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, oversaw the strategic cruise missile launching drill.

The strategic cruise missiles flew along the flight orbit set in the sky above the West Sea of Korea for 10 199s and 10 203s to hit the target.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un expressed great satisfaction, saying that the result of the launching drill is a practical verification and clear demonstration of the absolute reliability and combat readiness of our strategic counterattack capability.

He stressed that checking the reliability and rapid response of the components of the DPRK's nuclear deterrent on a regular basis and steadily demonstrating their might are just a responsible exercise of the right to self-defense and war deterrence under the present situation in which the DPRK is facing various security threats.

He affirmed that the Workers' Party of Korea and the DPRK government would as ever devote all their efforts to the unlimited and sustained development of the state nuclear combat force. -0-
