The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) Tuesday confirmed it successfully test fired another ballistic missile on Monday, the third in one month, according to official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

 

朝鲜中央通讯社表示，朝鲜已与本周一成功试射一枚弹道导弹，这是五月内试射的第三枚导弹。

 

The report said the missile was a medium-range rocket launched from a mobile pad vehicle "through a precision control guidance system."

 

DPRK supreme¹ leader Kim Jong Un guided the test fire, said the report.

 

The test-fire was aimed at "verifying the technological² indices of the new-type precision guided ballistic rocket capable of making ultra-precision strike on the enemies' objects at any area," according to the report.

 

A new caterpillar³ pad vehicle carrying the missile was also tested this time in the launch after it joined a military parade last month for the first time.

 

"The ballistic rocket flew toward the east sky where the day broke and correctly hit a planned target point with deviation⁴ of seven meters after flying over the middle shooting range," said the KCNA.
