SEOUL, Oct. 3 (Yonhap) -- The powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un said Saturday the country fired an intermediate-range strategic missile during a firing drill conducted earlier in the day.

"At dawn of this morning, a drill of firing a strategic weapon toward the East Sea of Korea was conducted," Kim Yo-jong said in an announcement carried by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

"An intermediate-range strategic missile was used for the drill," she said. Leader Kim Jong-un oversaw the drill by a firepower sub-unit, according to the KCNA.

South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff earlier detected North Korea firing a ballistic missile toward the East Sea early Saturday morning from the Wonsan area and it flew over 700 kilometers.

Kim claimed that the superiority of the special flight mode applied to the country's missiles has been verified in practice, while the flight distance measured "the enemy" showed "the limitations" of their tracking capability.

"Whenever we applied the wave-like trajectory mode to missiles, the enemy failed to track the targets from their first skip points," she said, adding, "They should acknowledge the speed of the missile."

Kim also said that missile is capable of changing its flight orbit at a low altitude and artificial intelligence was introduced into it. "In other words, this means that there is no way to avoid this attack."

The Missile Administration also reported the North Korean leader that the missile is possible to set at least four flight orbit modes according to a purpose and target, while the leader expressed the belief that any country in the world could not have access to such technology for at least several years.

首尔，10月3日（韩联社）——朝鲜领导人金正恩的妹妹金正恩周六表示，朝鲜当天早些时候进行了一次试射，发射了一枚中程战略导弹。

“今天凌晨，朝鲜进行了向东海发射战略武器的演习，”金与正通过朝鲜中央通讯社（朝中社）发表声明称。

她说：“演习中使用了中程战略导弹。”据朝中社报道，金正恩亲自指挥了一个火力分队进行演习。

韩国联合参谋本部此前探测到朝鲜于周六清晨从元山地区向东海发射了一枚弹道导弹，该导弹飞行了超过700公里。

金正恩声称，该国导弹采用的特殊飞行模式的优越性已在实践中得到验证，而对“敌人”测量的飞行距离则显示了其跟踪能力的“局限性”。

“每当我们把波浪形轨迹模式应用于导弹时，敌人就无法从导弹的第一个跳跃点追踪目标，”她说道，“他们应该意识到导弹的速度。”

金正恩还表示，该导弹能够在低空改变飞行轨道，并融入了人工智能技术。“换句话说，这意味着我们根本无法躲避这次攻击。”

导弹管理局还向朝鲜领导人报告说，该导弹可以根据目的和目标设定至少四种飞行轨道模式，而该领导人则表示，世界上任何一个国家至少在几年内都不可能获得这种技术。
