North Korea’s Kim Yo Jong says intermediate-range missile test was conducted
Kim Yo Jong said the missile had low-altitude maneuvering and artificial intelligence features meant to evade South Korean and Japanese defenses.
- On Saturday, North Korea fired an intermediate-range ballistic missile toward the East Sea from the Wonsan area, marking the latest test in a year with more than 10 launches.
- Following Friday's dismissal of Seoul's demand for an apology regarding Demilitarized Zone landmines by Kim Yo-jong, sister of Leader Kim Jong-un, the leader oversaw the missile drill.
- Regarding the missile's capabilities, Kim Yo-jong claimed it used artificial intelligence to change flight orbits at low altitudes, stating, "In other words, this means that there is no way to avoid this attack."
- Missile Administration reported the weapon can set at least four flight orbit modes, while Kim Yo-jong asserted, "Whenever we applied the wave-like trajectory mode to missiles, the enemy failed to track the targets from their first skip points."
- Leader Kim Jong-un expressed belief that no country could access such technology for several years, though South Korea's military often challenges North Korea's claims of military superiority.
