Seoul, Oct 29 (AP) North Korea said on Wednesday that it has fired sea-to-surface cruise missiles into its western waters, in another display of its growing military capabilities as US President Donald Trump travels to South Korea for a regional summit.
North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency described Tuesday's test as a success and claimed that the weapons would contribute to expanding the operational sphere of the country's nuclear-armed military.
South Korea's military didn't immediately confirm whether it had detected the tests.
The North Korean report came hours before an expected summit between Trump and South Korean President Lee Jae Myung in the city of Gyeongju, where South Korea is hosting this year's Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meetings.
