North Korea claims first test of smaller cluster warheads on cruise missiles

North Korea tested strategic cruise missiles equipped with cluster warheads on Monday, according to state media, days after testing similar capabilities on short-range ballistic missiles (SRBMs).

The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported Tuesday morning that the latest cruise missile test involved a “middle-sized dispersal warhead” that is “capable of turning into ashes a target area of 5 to 6 hectares with its highest-density power.”

The SRBM test on Saturday reportedly involved a “Standard Type 2” cluster warhead capable of destroying an “area of 12 to 13 hectares.”

KCNA did not mention the presence of leader Kim Jong Un,
