North Korea conducted a simulation of a "tactical nuclear attack" involving two long-range cruise missiles with dummy nuclear warheads, according to Reuters.
The two cruise missiles carrying mock nuclear warheads were launched toward the West Sea of the Korean Peninsula and traveled 1500 kilometers at 150 meters.
These exercises were conducted to "warn enemies" of the real danger of nuclear war. Pyongyang once again promised to "strengthen military deterrence" against the United States and South Korea.
North Korea stated that the nuclear forces of North Korea would bolster their position of responsible nuclear combat by all means.
