News North Korea claims first test of smaller cluster warheads on cruise missilesMonday launch also involved test of cruise missile 'vertical strike' capability, KCNA says
North Korea tested strategic cruise missiles equipped with cluster warheads on Monday, according to state media, days after testing similar capabilities on short-range ballistic missiles (SRBMs). The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported Tuesday morning that the latest cruise missile test involved a “middle-sized dispersal warhead” that is “capable of turning into ashes a target area of 5 to 6 hectares with its highest-density power.” A collage of four photos released by KCNA showed what looks like a Hwasal or Pulhwasal series long-range cruise missile flying low before a mid-air explosion and the dispersal of dozens of small munitions, © Korea Risk Group.
