According to the state-run [North] Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), they flew along a preset route "for 10,199 seconds and 10,203 seconds" before striking their targets.
The launch, which was conducted the previous day with the country's leader Kim Jong-un in attendance, was part of drills aimed at checking the strategic weapons system's accuracy while strengthening the combat readiness and capabilities of long-range missile units.
Expressing "great satisfaction," Kim reportedly said the drills were for self-defense, as the country is "facing various security threats."
