Kim Jong Un Inspects New Nuclear Submarine and Oversees Missile Test

Separate from the shipyard visit, KCNA reported that Kim Jong Un supervised a successful test launch of a "new-type high-altitude long-range anti-air missile" on Wednesday. The test was conducted near the country's eastern coast and aimed to verify strategic technologies for hitting aerial targets at significant distances. This indicates that while the North is focused on sea-based nukes, it is equally committed to hardening its domestic air defenses.
