North Korea said Friday it test-fired new tactical guided missiles a day earlier, confirming the launch of ballistic missiles for the first time in about a year.
On Thursday, South Korea's military said the North fired what appeared to be two short-range ballistic missiles into the East Sea, raising concerns that the missiles banned under the U.N. Security Council resolutions could sharply escalate tensions.
The latest launch came as the Joe Biden administration prepares to announce a new policy on the North.
"The newly developed new-type tactical guided projectile is a weapon system whose warhead weight has been improved to be 2.5 tons with the use of the core technology of tactical guided projectile that was already developed," the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said.North Korea's military officials smile as they watch the missile test, Thursday.

The Academy of Defence Science conducted the launch and was "very successful just as it had been confidently predicted," according to the KCNA.
