ABC News Online: North Korea: Kim Jong-un says ballistic missile ready for 'action' after test
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un says the intermediate-range ballistic missile that was tested yesterday is ready for "action", according to the reclusive state's news agency.
The test was reported by South Korea yesterday, and the KCNA news agency today released a statement claiming the launch was a success.
The launch verified the reliability and accuracy of the solid-fuel engine's operation and stage separation and the late-stage guidance of the nuclear warhead which was recorded by a device mounted on the warhead, KCNA said.
Mr Kim supervised the launch of the Pukguksong-2 missile and was pleased with the results, KCNA said.
