According to KCNA, the missiles were capable of striking wide areas with high intensity, signaling enhanced battlefield capabilities.
The report said tensions between the two Koreas remain high, with Pyongyang calling South Korea its “most hostile enemy state” and dismissing efforts to revive dialogue.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has continued expanding nuclear-capable weapons after talks with President Donald Trump collapsed in 2019.
Meanwhile, North Korea is strengthening ties with China and Russia, with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi expected to visit Pyongyang.
