(UPDATED) SEOUL: North Korean leader Kim Jong Un supervised the launch of two long-range cruise missiles, state media reported on Thursday, adding that the weapons had already been deployed to 'tactical nuke' units of the East Asian country's army.

Kim has overseen a blitz of ballistic missile launches in recent weeks, which Pyongyang has described as tactical nuclear drills that simulated taking out airports and military facilities across South Korea.
