N. Korea tests new ‘tactical weapon

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has overseen the testing of a “newly developed ultramodern tactical weapon”, Pyongyang’s state media reported on Friday, a move seen by analysts as more of a political message than a serious provocation.It marked the first official report of a weapons test by North Korea since it began a delicate diplomatic process with Washington over its missile programme.South Korea’s Yonhap news agency, quoting an unidentified government source, said the weapon could be a long-range cannon that the North has been developing for many years.
