While the U.S.
said the country staged a drill “simulating a nuclear strike at a major enemy target” that same day, using a missile tipped with “a test warhead simulating a nuclear warhead.”South Korean defense officials said the North had fired at least four cruise missiles from its eastern Hamhung province.
