MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 16th November, 2018) North Korean leader Kim Jong Un observed a test of the country's new high-tech tactical weapon, media reported on Friday.
Kim had visited a North Korean national defense institute to inspect the test of the unspecified state-of-the-art weapon, the South Korean Yonhap news agency reported citing a message carried by the North Korean state-run Korean Central Broadcasting Station.
The North Korean leader's move was his first visit to a weapons test since last November when he observed the launch of the Hwasong-15 intercontinental ballistic missile, Yonhap noted.
The test of the new North Korean weapon was held amid the efforts of Pyongyang and Washington to maintain bilateral dialogue that follow Kim's landmark summit with US President Donald Trump, during which both expressed the commitment for the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, in June.
