SEOUL: North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un has overseen the test of a new anti-aircraft weapon system, state media said Saturday, the latest in a series of missile trials as tensions run high on the divided Korean peninsula.

Over the past month the young leader has supervised several military drills, including the test-firings of medium ballistic missiles, a multiple rocket system and long-range artillery, in response to Seoul-Washington joint army drills south of the border.
