The Pukguksong-2 is a land-based version of North Korea's main submarine-launched missile.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un supervised the tests of the Pukguksong-2 missile, state-run media reported.

"The Supreme Leader issued an order to launch the missile at the observation post. Together with officials, he analyzed the results of the test launch and expressed his great satisfaction over them, saying it is perfect," the Korean Central News Agency reported.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said the test showed the Pukguksong-2 missile is ready for deployment.
