North Korea tests military assets including ballistic missile, KCNA reports

North Korea conducted tests of various military technologies between Monday and Wednesday including the cluster-bomb warhead of a tactical ballistic

missile and an electromagnetic weapon system, state media KCNA reported on Thursday.



The country's Academy of Defence Science and the Missile Administration conducted tests of an electromagnetic weapon system, carbon fiber bombs, a mobile short-range anti-aircraft missile system, and a tactical ballistic missile's cluster bomb warhead, according to the KCNA.



Kim Jong Sik, a general who oversaw the tests, said the electromagnetic weapon system and carbon fibre bombs are "special assets" for North Korea's military, according to KCNA.



On Wednesday, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said Pyongyang had test-fired multiple missiles on Tuesday and Wednesday. South Korea's Presidential Blue House convened an emergency security meeting, according to media reports, urging Pyongyang to end such tests.
