The test, conducted by the Academy of Defense Sciences of North Korea, aimed to reconfirm the precision of the shells at their maximum range of 67 kilometers (41.6 miles) and to evaluate the dependability of the launcher’s automatic firing system, according to the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

The latest move follows North Korea’s test launch of multiple short-range ballistic missiles last month, marking a continued series of missile activities in the region.
