KCNA reported May 5 that N. KOREA's Missile Bureau on May 4 test-fired a new air-defense missile system, saying the trial validated new airframe materials, intelligent multi-mode composite guidance, target-recognition and tracking capabilities, and the detection-information processing system's technology and reliability. KCNA said the same day a long-range strategic cruise-missile unit conducted a live-fire demonstration in the eastern region, using long-range strategic cruise missiles to strike a simulated airport target.
