SEOUL: North Korean leader Kim Jong Un oversaw the firing of “cutting-edge” hypersonic missiles to ready Pyongyang´s nuclear forces for war, state media reported on Monday, saying “geopolitical crisis” made the test even more urgent in a clear nod to this weekend´s US attack on Venezuela.
Seoul and Tokyo said on Sunday they had detected the launch from near Pyongyang of two ballistic missiles -- the country´s first test of the year just hours before South Korean leader Lee Jae Myung headed to Beijing for a summit.
