North Korea Conducts Simulated Nuclear Counterattack with Latest Missile

North Korea conducted its fifth missile test this month, simulating a nuclear attack on South Korea with a ballistic missile launch over the weekend. The missile, which flew about 800 kilometers, was tipped with a mock nuclear warhead and detonated as intended 800 meters above water at a spot that simulated an unspecified "major enemy target." The North's leader, Kim Jong Un, instructed his military to hold more drills to sharpen the war readiness of his nuclear forces in the face of "aggression" by his enemies. The missile test was a "stronger warning" to the United States and South Korea, who are "undisguised in their explicit attempt to unleash a war" against the North, according to KCNA.
