Summary
KCNA said North Korea tested a cluster-bomb warhead for tactical ballistic missiles to measure its combat suitability and destructive power.
A standard Type 2 warhead can strike a target area of 12 to 13 hectares at peak density, and officials said the munitions come in four categories.
Pyongyang said it aims to equip military units by the end of 2026 with all bomb types according to operational needs.
The test extends a recent military push that has included about 10 ballistic missiles launched on Thursday and a drone exhibition, as analysts point to a broader modernization drive.
