North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un, recently supervised a test launch of long-range strategic cruise missiles, emphasizing an ongoing commitment to the development of the country's nuclear capabilities. The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported that the missiles were successfully launched from the sea west of the Korean Peninsula, achieving their intended targets.

The missile launch, conducted on Sunday, is part of a series of actions highlighting North Korea's military and economic progress. These activities are being showcased ahead of a significant party congress scheduled for early 2026, where a new five-year development plan will be established.

Kim Jong Un asserted the importance of regularly assessing the reliability and rapid response capabilities of North Korea's nuclear deterrent as a measure against various security threats. The leader emphasized the nation's dedication to the continuous advancement of its nuclear combat forces.

Missile Launch Details and International Reactions

While KCNA did not disclose the exact launch location, South Korea's Yonhap news agency confirmed that multiple missiles were detected being launched from the Sunan area near Pyongyang on Sunday morning. South Korea has issued warnings of potential additional missile tests by North Korea before the year's end.

Additionally, KCNA reported that Kim inspected a nuclear-powered strategic guided missile submarine weighing 8,700 tonnes, currently under construction. He cautioned against South Korea's plans to develop similar submarines, viewing them as a security threat to North Korea.

This marks the first time since March that North Korean state media have released images of the submarine, previously only showing its lower sections. During a related event on Thursday, Kim, accompanied by his daughter, oversaw the test-firing of long-range surface-to-air missiles.

Over the past month, Kim has attended several openings of new facilities, such as factories and hotels, as North Korea aims to complete its current five-year development plan before the ninth Congress of the ruling Workers' Party of Korea in early 2026.
