Picture of the Day: North Korea’s New MLRS

This photo from the North Korean daily Rodong Sinmun on March 4, 2016, shows a test fire of the country’s new multiple rocket launcher. The photo is believed to be from March 3, when the country fired six short-range projectiles toward the East Sea, apparently in a show of force against U.N. sanctions adopted a day earlier against it. The North’s top leader Kim ordered that the weapon be deployed in operation areas “so as not to allow the enemies to sleep in peace” and the nuclear warheads put on standby “so as to be fired any moment.” (For Use Only in the Republic of Korea.
