"North Korea Conducts Submarine-Launched Cruise Missile Test, KCNA Reports"

North Korea conducted a second test of its newly developed submarine-launched cruise missile (SLCM) called "Pulhwasal-3-31," with leader Kim Jong Un supervising the launch, indicating an acceleration in the country's navy's nuclear armament. The missiles flew for over two hours and hit an unspecified island target, with state media reporting the test as a strategic success. This test follows a previous one last week, and comes amidst a series of weapon tests by North Korea, including ballistic missile systems and an underwater drone, as well as the construction of a nuclear submarine.
