apnews.com/article/north-korea-kim-jong-un-superlarge-multiple-rocket-launchers-b4e06eb647870423da74d0ebc39c3865
Quick Glance: North Korea's Kim Supervises 'Super-Large' Rocket Launcher Drills
- North Korean leader Kim Jong Un oversaw live-fire drills involving 'newly-equipped super-large' multiple rocket launchers.

- Kim emphasized that the rocket launchers would be the 'core central striking means' in war preparations and that the army should possess destructive offensive means to block and suppress the possibility of war.
- North Korea is banned from testing ballistic missiles due to long-running sanctions, and the latest tests were seen as the regime's attempt to demonstrate strength, signal costs on the Korean Peninsula for security cooperation, and warn Washington against increased pressure.
