North Korean leader Kim Jong

Un supervised the firing of new air defence missiles to test

their combat capability, state media KCNA reported on Sunday.



The report came ahead of the summit on Monday between U.S.

President Donald Trump and South Korea President Lee Jae Myung.



Earlier this month, Kim



condemned



the U.S.-South Korea joint military drills as their intent

to remain "most hostile and confrontational" to his country,

pledging to speed up nuclear build-up.



The new anti-air weapon systems showed "fast response" to

aerial targets such as attack drones and cruise missiles, KCNA

said.
