KCNA: North Korea leader oversees 'new' weapon system test


North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un, shown reacting during an earlier missile launch, has overseen a test of a new anti-aircraft guided weapon system, according to state media.

Seoul (AFP) - North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un has overseen a test of a new anti-aircraft weapon system, state media said Sunday, amid mounting tensions in the region following a series of missile tests by Pyongyang.

Over the past few months, the young leader has overseen several military drills, including the test-firing of a medium-range ballistic missile last Sunday, as Washington seeks to ramp up pressure on Pyongyang to curb its nuclear ambitions.
