A TV at Seoul's Yongsan Railway Station shows the North's first test-firing of the new strategic cruise missile Pulhwasal-3-31. North Korea said 25 January it test-fired a new strategic cruise missile, named "Pulhwasal-3-31," for the first time the previous day in what was seen as an effort to strengthen capabilities to deliver nuclear weapons. The North's Missile General Bureau said the test-fire is a "process of constant updating of the weapon system and a regular and obligatory activity of the agency and its affiliated defense science institutes," according to the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). Experts said the Pulhwasal-3-31 may be a short-range missile, given that a photo carried by the KCNA showed its overall length is shorter than previous Hwasal-type cruise missiles. Hwasal means an arrow in Korean, and Pulhwasal means a fire arrow. (Photo by Kim Jae-Hwan / SOPA Images/Sipa USA)
