Kim 'guided a combined tactical drill simulating a nuclear counterattack involving super-large multiple rocket artillerymen,' the report said.

The rockets 'hit their island target' some 219 miles away, it continued, saying Kim had expressed 'great satisfaction' over the result, which boosted 'the Korean-style tactical nuclear strike'.

The drill examined 'the reliability of the system of command, management, control and operation of the whole nuclear force' and ensured the super-large multiple rocket units had 'mastered' the ability to switch into nuclear counterattack mode, KCNA said.

Some 50 countries joined the United Nations ban in 2021 prohibiting countries from producing, testing, acquiring, possessing or stockpiling nuclear weapons. It also outlaws the transfer of the weapons and forbids signatories from allowing any nuclear explosive device to be stationed, installed or deployed in their territory.
