North Korea fired its fourth barrage of cruise missiles in some two weeks, a move that came just hours after Kim Jong Un called for stepping up “war preparations” during a visit to a naval shipyard.
Multiple cruise missiles were fired toward waters off North Korea’s west coast at around 11 a.m. Friday, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a text message to reporters. US and South Korean intelligence authorities were analyzing the test, it said. Kim’s regime usually releases information about the launches a day after the fact.
