(I notice N. Korea seems to be coming up with a lot of diversified stuff since collaborating with Russia and shipping weapons to them...
but of course, you know - nothing is really going on.)
SEOUL, April 23 (Reuters) - North Korea carried out its first nuclear counterattack drills to simulate its "nuclear trigger" management system, guided by leader Kim Jong Un, as a clear warning to its enemies, state news agency KCNA said on Tuesday.
North Korea fired several short-range ballistic missiles on Monday toward the sea off its east coast, South Korea's military said.
As part of testing the nationwide nuclear management system, called "nuclear trigger", its artillery forces joined the country's first such drills on Monday in a show of diversified nuclear capabilities and protest against U.S. and South Korean "provocative and invasive" military exercises, KCNA reported.
Kim oversaw the simulation drills involving maneuvering troops in nuclear counterattack posture, and firing artillery with mock nuclear warheads, in case nuclear crisis alerts were issued, according to KCNA.
Kim highly praised the readiness of "the world's best" tactical nuclear attack weapons, expressing satisfaction with the drills, state media said.
The reclusive state is believed to be preparing to launch another spy satellite, after successfully putting a reconnaissance satellite in orbit in November.
North Korea said last week that it had fired a strategic cruise missile to test a large warhead, and a new anti-aircraft missile.
Also,
South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the weapons were launched near Pyongyang and flew approximately 185 miles before falling in the waters between the Korean Peninsula and Japan. The launches came amid speculation that North Korea could soon launch a banned satellite into orbit, potentially on the April 25 founding anniversary of what became the North’s military.
The ranges of Monday’s missiles suggest the weapons could likely target sites in South Korea, prompting stern words from Seoul. There were no immediate reports of damage.
The South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff strongly condemned the launches, saying they were a "clear provocation" that threatens peace on the Korean Peninsula. The office said it maintains readiness to "overwhelmingly" retaliate against North Korean provocations.
Neighboring Japan also confirmed the launch of "at least one ballistic missile."
Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi told reporters that North Korea launched at least one ballistic missile that flew 155 miles at a maximum altitude of about 30 miles. He also said the missile tests threaten the peace and safety of Japan, the region and the international community.
North Korea in recent months has continued to accelerate its weapons testing to expand its arsenal and military capabilities.
KIM JONG UN PROMISES 'DEATH BLOW' TO POTENTIAL ENEMIES, IGNORES BIDEN'S REQUEST FOR COOPERATION
The launch on Monday completed its recent trifecta of missile tests, including long-range, medium-range and short-range flights.
On Saturday, North Korea said that it tested a "super-large" cruise missile warhead and a new anti-aircraft missile last week. In early April, North Korea also test-launched what it called a solid-fuel intermediate-range missile with hypersonic warhead capabilities, a weapon that experts predicted could hit targets in the U.S. Pacific territory of Guam and beyond.
North Korea has test-fired nuclear-capable missiles designed to strike sites in South Korea, Japan and the mainland U.S. in past years as it pursues the development of nuclear weapons.

(SUPER LARGE! McDonalds Missiles??? LoL)
This is the culprit: the SUPER LARGE cruise missile.
