North Korea launches strategic cruise missile.

Specifically, according to the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), a missile unit of the North Korean army conducted drills off the country's western coast on February 26, under the supervision of leader Kim Jong-un. The drills aimed to "assert to the enemy the counter-attack capabilities of the North Korean army, the combat readiness of various nuclear warfare vehicles, and demonstrate the reliability of Pyongyang's nuclear deterrence capabilities."

During the test, the missiles flew 1,587 km along an elliptical trajectory for over two hours and struck their targets. North Korea did not specify the type of missile.

During his inspection of the missile launch, Kim Jong-un emphasized the long-term goal of protecting the country's sovereignty and security with a "reliable nuclear shield," and suggested that North Korea should strive to "prepare for more comprehensive combat readiness of its nuclear forces."

The South Korean military said yesterday that it had detected signs of missile launch preparations since February 26 and tracked multiple cruise missiles after they were launched into the Yellow Sea at around 8 a.m. that day (local time).

Did North Korean missiles improve their accuracy thanks to experience gained in Ukraine?
