North Korea test launched sea-to-surface cruise missiles off its western coast on Tuesday, state media said, a day beforeĀ US President Donald Trump is set to begin a visit to South Korea.

The missiles were launched vertically and flew for over two hours, state news agency KCNA said on Wednesday.

KCNA reported Pak Jong Chon, vice-chairman of North Korea’s Central Military Commission, had overseen test — not Kim Jong Un, whom Trump has expressed interest in meeting while he visits South Korea this week.
