North Korea confirmed the launch of four missiles this week, which involved an upgraded long-range cruise missile system and a surface-to-surface tactical guided missile, state-run media reported on Friday.
Two long-range cruise missiles were launched over the East Sea of Korea—also known as the Sea of Japan—on Tuesday, hitting a target island 1,800 kilometers (1,118 miles) away, state media Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said in its report.
