North Korea has test-fired two long-range “strategic” cruise missiles, state media said Monday, as leader Kim Jong Un pledged to continue the “unlimited and sustained development” of his country’s nuclear forces.

Kim said that exercises, which were held over the Yellow Sea a day earlier, were for “checking the reliability and rapid response” of North Korea’s “nuclear deterrent on a regular basis and steadily demonstrating their might,” the official Korean Central News Agency reported.

The North Korean strongman said that the ruling party and government would “devote all their efforts to the unlimited and sustained development of the state nuclear combat force.”
