DPRK Missile Administration Tests New, Important Combat Weapon System

Pyongyang, September 22 (KCNA) -- The Missile Administration of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea successfully tested a new-type weapon, which is of great significance in the rapid technological development of weapon systems, on September 20.

The test did not have any adverse impact on the security of neighboring countries.

It is an extension of the regular activities of the DPRK Missile Administration and its defence science research institutes aimed at implementing the national defence policy.

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and President of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, oversaw the test.

Saying that the test was undoubtedly a striking demonstration of ultra-modern defence technology and clear progress in the modernization of the armed forces, he stressed that it represents the irresistible might.

To acquire such a technology is of weighty significance in the state's readiness for war and the future development of the armed forces, he said, adding that the enemy will know better what such progress means without any explanation in the aspect of military technology. He affirmed that such reality would give the enemy an incurable headache and a very cruel and unavoidable blow.

Today's success is the priceless fruit brought by a special think tank of the sci-tech forces involved in development of the important weapon system for a specific purpose and their sincere efforts, he said, expressing thanks to the Missile Administration and its defence science institutes and working groups. -0-
