SEOUL, March 26 (Yonhap) -- North Korea said Friday that it test-fired two new tactical guided missiles a day earlier.
On Thursday, South Korea's military said that the North fired what appeared to be two short-range ballistic missiles into the East Sea.
The newly developed missiles flew around 600 kilometers into the East Sea to strike the exact point the North intended and can carry a warhead weighing up to 2.5 tons, the official Rodong Sinmun newspaper said.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un did not oversee the missile testing.
Thursday's launches came four days after the country fired two cruise missiles into the Yellow Sea on Sunday.
