North Korea fires new cruise missilesSelf-declared nuclear power North Korea has successfully tested new long-range cruise missiles over the weekend, according to South Korean sources. According to KCNA, the missiles flew for about two hours and six minutes on an oval trajectory over the mainland and waters in North Korea, hitting targets 1500 kilometers away.UN resolutions prohibit North Korea from testing ballistic missiles, which can also carry nuclear warheads depending on their design. Tests of cruise missiles, on the other hand, are not subject to sanctions against the country. Unlike ballistic missiles, cruise missiles have permanent propulsion of their own. On Thursday night, North Korea held a night military parade for the third time in a year.
