Kim Jong Un opens new weapons museum as North Korea claims missile test success

DPRK leader vows to continue arms buildup at museum filled with dozens of missiles, launch vehicles and drones

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un opened a new arms museum to showcase the country’s nuclear missiles, drones and other weapons, vowing to continue their development, according to state media.

The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) separately published a brief report on Monday’s missile test, claiming it heralded “an important change” in improving all weapons systems.

Tuesday’s KCNA report on the new National Defense Revolution Museum under the Second Economy Commission (제2경제위원회 국방혁명박물관) did not disclose its size or location, but photos suggest it may have been built underground, with weapons on display in long tunnel-like rooms.
