North Korean leader Kim Jong Un led two days of military drills 'simulating a nuclear counterattack', including the firing of a ballistic missile carrying a mock nuclear warhead, state news agency KCNA reported Monday.
SEOUL, South Korea -
Kim expressed "satisfaction" over the weekend drills, which were held to "let relevant units get familiar with the procedures and processes for implementing their tactical nuclear attack missions", the report said. North Korea views all such exercises as rehearsals for invasion and has repeatedly warned it would take "overwhelming" action in response.
"The missile was tipped with a test warhead simulating a nuclear warhead," it added later, without giving further details.
