North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has supervised the test-firing of two types of new anti-air missiles, state media reports, displaying his expanding military capabilities as South Korea and the U.S. carry out joint military drills.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has paid an emotional tribute to soldiers who have died fighting for Russia in its war against Ukraine, saying his ‘heart aches’ in a rare admission of military losses.

The newly-tested air-defense missiles "are very suitable for destroying various aerial targets," North Korean state media reported.
