Seoul, Aug 10 (AFP) Aug 10, 2019
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un personally oversaw the latest in a series of missile launches, which was the "test-fire of a new weapon," the country's official Korean Central News Agency reported Sunday.

The KCNA report did not specify the nature of the weapon tested in Saturday's launch.

Kim "mounted the observation post and guided the test-fire," it said, adding that he expressed "great satisfaction" with the result.
