North Korean leader oversees new missile test, state media says

According to North Korean state media, the country's leader, Kim Jong Un, oversaw a test of two new air defence missiles that demonstrated "superior combat capability." The test was conducted amid ongoing military tensions on the Korean peninsula. While details about the specific capabilities of the missiles were not provided, the report suggests that North Korea continues to advance its missile technology, which remains a concern for the international community. The news comes as the United States and its allies in the region continue to monitor North Korea's military activities and engage in diplomatic efforts to address the country's nuclear and ballistic missile programs. The international community has imposed various sanctions on North Korea in response to its weapons development, though the regime has persistently continued its testing and development activities.
