CNN: North Korea fires 2 missiles from submarine, state media reports
North Korea launched two missiles from a submarine in the waters of the Sea of Japan Sunday morning local time, according to the state-run news agency KCNA.
The “strategic cruise missiles” were launched from a “8.24 Yongung” submarine, according to KCNA – the same vessel used to test North Korea’s first submarine-launched ballistic missile in 2016, CNN previously reported.
South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said earlier Sunday that North Korea fired at least one unidentified missile from a submarine near the port city of Sinpo in the South Hamgyong province.
KCNA claimed the missiles flew for over an hour, traveling roughly 1,500 km (932 miles) per hour and performing figure-of-eight shaped patterns before “precisely” hitting a target.

Will someone wipe these fuckers out once and for all?!
Every tine there is an exercise the North Koreans always treat it like it is a prelude to war. Tired of the North Koreans. They need to be dealt with.
Who have said they were conducting a training exercise and then invaded? Oh yes, the Russians.
Russia is getting its ass handed to it tonight. This is not the movies. Convicts need more than 3 clips. Prigozhin will not survive the war. Too many people large and small are upset with him in Russia. The Russian position in Africa will crumble.
