North Korea conducted a test of its "state of the art" multiple rocket launcher system (MRLS), state media reported Sunday, a day after Seoul identified the launch of around 10 ballistic missiles.

Kim Jong Un oversaw the test on Saturday, which "involved twelve 600mm-calibre ultra-precision multiple rocket launchers and two artillery companies", the Korean Central News Agency said.
