Both South and North Korea, which have been developing increasingly sophisticated weapons amid stalled efforts to ease tension on the peninsula, tested ballistic missiles on Wednesday.
The missile seemed to be a version of the South's Hyunmoo surface-to-surface ballistic missiles with the warhead part an imitation of India's K-15 SLBM, Jang said. "In a word, it should be called some clumsy work," Jang said."If it's indeed an SLBM, it would only be in its rudimentary, infant stage."Jang said the weapon had not reached a phase where it had strategic and tactical value and would thus pose a threat to the North but questioned the intent of the South's ongoing missile development.
Jang's comments came days after Kim Yo Jong, the powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, derided the South for criticising the North for what she said were"routine defensive measures" while developing its own missiles.
