Kim "supervised" the exercise on Monday, KCNA reported, adding that "when he ordered the underwater units to fire, the men in charge of the long-range artillery fired all together."
South Korea said on Monday that North Korea had fired two missiles that were presumably short-range ballistic missiles a few weeks after it ended its moratorium on long-range missile testing and threatened to test "new strategic weapon ”.
It was not immediately clear whether the two events were the same.
The two devices were fired eastward over the sea from the Wonsan region on the east coast, the South Korean Joint Staff (JCS) said in a statement. The projectiles traveled 240 km at a maximum altitude of 35 km.

They were "presumably short-range ballistic missiles," said a JCS official.
The launches come as negotiations between Washington and Pyongyang over North Korea’s nuclear and ballistic programs are stalled. North Korea had given the United States until the end of 2019 to make new proposals.
