North Korea on Wednesday said it had test-fired sea-to-surface strategic cruise missiles in the Yellow Sea, just days before US President Donald Trump’s visit to South Korea for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, news agency ANI reported.

According to the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), the ship-based missiles, launched vertically, flew for more than 7,800 seconds along a pre-set trajectory over the Yellow Sea and successfully hit their designated target.
