North Korea Media: Four strategic cruise missiles test-fired | Latest News | English News | WION

On February 23, 2023, North Korea test-fired four strategic cruise missiles, raising concerns over the country's nuclear program and its ability to launch long-range attacks. The news was reported by several media outlets, including WION, a leading international news organization.

According to reports, the missiles were fired from a location in the western part of North Korea and flew a distance of about 1,500 kilometers before falling into the Sea of Japan. The launch is said to have taken place amid ongoing tensions between North Korea and several countries, including the United States and South Korea.

The state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported that the test-firing of the missiles was successful and that it was aimed at improving North Korea's defense capabilities. However, the move has been viewed with suspicion by many countries, which fear that North Korea is using its nuclear program to build up its military might and threaten its neighbors.

North Korea has a history of testing missiles and conducting nuclear tests, despite international sanctions and condemnation. The latest launch comes just months after North Korea tested a new type of long-range missile that was capable of reaching the United States. The international community has called for North Korea to stop its nuclear program and return to the negotiating table to resolve the issue peacefully.
