SEOUL — North Korea's Kim Jong Un oversaw the test-firing of a 240mm multiple rocket launcher equipped with a new 'guiding system,' state media said Wednesday, as Pyongyang continues to upgrade its arsenal.

The announcement comes about three months after North Korea said it would equip its military with a 'new' 240mm multiple rocket launcher (MRL) known to be capable of striking Seoul.
