North Korea's state-run media say the country's leader, Kim Jong Un, oversaw the launch of a new type of tactical guided missile on Tuesday.
The media said on Wednesday that two missiles precisely hit a target islet, and clearly verified their actual war capacity.
The report also said Kim praised the launch, saying it would send a warning to the joint US-South Korea military drills that are now underway.
North Korea launched two projectiles on Tuesday morning from South Hwanghae province towards the Sea of Japan. South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said both are presumed to be short-range ballistic missiles.
