North Korea test-fires long-range missiles, leader Kim Jong Un urges nuclear growth

Leader Kim Jong Un oversaw the drill staged Sunday over the Yellow Sea to the west of the Korean peninsula and called for "unlimited and sustained" development of his nuclear weapons forces, the state-run Korean Central News Agency said.

The goal of the exercise was to review the "counter-offensive response posture and combat capability of long-range missile sub-units," KCNA said.

The missiles flew for more than two hours, KCNA said.

State media shared photos of the missiles being fired and hitting a target.
