Share TweetBy the Associated PressSEOUL, South Korea — North Korea said Thursday leader Kim Jong Un supervised the first test firing of a new multiple rocket launcher system that could potentially enhance its ability to strike targets in South Korea and US military bases there. In a closed-door briefing to lawmakers, officials from South Korea’s National Intelligence Service said North Korea might extend its weapons tests into August. Analysts say North Korea, with its consecutive weapons tests, is demonstrating displeasure with the pace of nuclear diplomacy with Washington. If confirmed, it would be North Korea’s first operational submarine with missile launch tubes, some experts said.
