Pyongyang’s state media reported on Friday that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un inspected the test-firing of cruise missiles and called the test a success.
 
In the wake of the launch of several cruise missiles a day earlier, North Korean media said that the North’s National Academy of Defense Sciences tested newly developed surface-to-ship cruise rockets in the presence of Kim.
 
The North's media said the missiles are the same ones displayed during a military parade marking the birthday of late North Korean founder Kim Il-sung on April 15th.
 
Calling them a strong means of attack against enemy warships, the media said the missiles flew precisely along pre-planned routes and hit targets in the East Sea.
 
On Thursday morning, the North test-fired several projectiles, which South Korea assessed to be short-range, surface-to-ship cruise missiles, from near the eastern coastal city of Wonsan in Gangwon Province toward the East Sea.
