Report: North Korea unveiled surface-to-ship missiles at a military parade to mark the 105th birthday of its late founder Kim Il-sung on April 15th.
 
The missiles were featured on top of mobile launchers with four launch tubes. 
 
Based on the length and shape of the launch tubes, they are presumed to be remodeled land-based versions of anti-ship cruise missiles unveiled in February 2015.
 
North Korea has recently been test-firing new missiles unveiled at the parade. Thursday's launch appears to be an extension of the tests.
 
On May 14th, the North fired the Hwasong-12 mid-range ballistic missile. A week later, it launched the Pukguksong-2, a land-based version of its submarine-based ballistic missile.
 
Six days after that, it fired the KN-06 surface-to-air missile, which is called North Korea's Patriot missile. Last week, the North fired a variation of a short-range Scud missile.
 
Including Thursday's surface-to-ship missiles, the North has tested five new types of missiles in less than a month.
 
Of the new missiles unveiled at the parade, the only projectiles that the North hasn't tested yet are two types of intercontinental ballistic missiles(ICBM) which were shown at the end of the parade.
 
The North's state-run newspaper Rodong Sinmun claimed on May 31st that Pyongyang is ready to test its ICBMs at an arbitrary time and place at the order of its leader.
