North Korea says it has test-fired cruise missiles designed to be fired from submarines

North Korea has said that it has test-fired cruise missiles designed to be fired from submarines. The move comes as Pyongyang continues to expand its military capabilities during a prolonged freeze in diplomacy with Washington and Seoul. North Korean state media said the military tested two types of these missiles in the country’s eastern waters yesterday. However, the report did not specify whether they were launched from an actual submarine or an underwater test platform. South Korea’s military did not immediately comment on the tests.
