SEOUL: North Korea tested weapon systems over three days this week, including the firing of ballistic missiles and cluster bombs, its state media said on Thursday.

A mobile short-range anti-aircraft missile system was also included in the tests, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported.

The trials took place on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, as part of regular efforts to develop and upgrade weapons systems, KCNA said.

South Korea´s military reported earlier that North Korea had fired multiple short-range ballistic missiles in two rounds on Wednesday, and an “unidentified projectile” the previous day.
