Quick Glance: North Korea's Kim Supervises 'Super-Large' Rocket Launcher Drills

- North Korea is banned from testing ballistic missiles due to long-running sanctions, and the latest tests were seen as the regime's attempt to demonstrate strength, signal costs on the Korean Peninsula for security cooperation, and warn Washington against increased pressure.
