In the allegorical penis-measuring contest that is the missile-firing matches being contested on the Korean peninsula, the North just upped the stakes by announcing it test-fired two nuclear-capable cruise missiles Thursday (local time), Reuters reports.
The state-controlled Korea Central News Agency (KCNA) said North Korea conducted the test firings to “[enhance] the combat efficiency and might” of cruise missiles deployed “for the operation of tactical nukes.”
North Korean dictator and Amish fashion icon Kim Jong Un said the country “should continue to expand the operational sphere of the nuclear strategic armed forces to resolutely deter any crucial military crisis and war crisis at any time and completely take the initiative in it.”
