We’ve tested improved rocket launcher – N/Korea

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has supervised the test of an improved rocket launcher, state media reported on Wednesday.

The launcher,  tested on Tuesday, had been “technically updated in its manoeuvrability and concentrated firing capability,” state news agency KCNA reported on Wednesday.

The upgrades had proved to be “advantageous in all indices, including newly applied guiding system, controllability and destructive power,” it added.

Since the beginning of 2022, North Korea has significantly increased the scope of its weapons tests, including the testing of nuclear-capable missiles.

They have stepped up their rhetoric against the US and South Korea, which Pyongyang considers to be enemy states. It has also intensified its military cooperation with Russia.

On Tuesday, a South Korean lawmaker, citing an intelligence report, said North Korea may have sent more than 13,000 shipping containers of arms to Russia since mid-2022.

South Korean news agency Yonhap reported the shipments could have held more than 6 million artillery shells.
