North Korea reported successful tests of the latest weapons

North Korea's missile forces have tested new weapons. It “has a crucial role in the development of weapons systems technology,” the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said.

The tests were carried out on September 20. KCNA writes that they “had no negative impact on the security of neighboring countries.” No details are given about the weapons. South Korean media reported at least two launches into the Sea of Japan that day.

The tests were traditionally observed by the leader of the DPRK Kim Jong-un. He said the tests were a demonstration of the republic's "ultra-modern technical potential" and called the new weapon "an irresistible force." “The enemies know what such a military-technical renewal means. For them, this reality will be an incurable headache and a very cruel, inevitable powerful blow, the leader of the DPRK assured.

In early September, North Korea put into service a new destroyer "Kang Gong". Its combat systems were tested in July. During the exercises, launches of strategic cruise missiles were carried out, as well as verification of deck guns, automatic guns and electronic warfare equipment.
