Kim Jong Un oversees North Korea’s first ‘nuclear trigger’ simulation drills
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has overseen a drill simulating what Pyongyang is calling a "nuclear counterattack" – involving multiple rocket launchers.
It comes a day after South Korea said the North fired short-range missiles into the East Sea.
The missiles flew around 300 kilometres from the Pyongyang area, splashing down east of the Korean peninsula.
This marks Pyongyang’s second launch in less than a week and is seen as a warning signal as the US and South Korea carry out joint military exercises.
Al Jazeera’s Eunice Kim joins us live from South Korea’s capital Seoul to discuss the latest updates.
