[Still Waters]

North Korea claims it successfully test-fired new long-range cruise missiles over the weekend, according to the country's state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

The report, dated Monday, says the country's Academy of Defense Science successfully test-fired the missiles on September 11 and 12, and that the weapons had been in development for two years.

The weapons demonstrate "another effective deterrence means for more reliably guaranteeing the security of our state and strongly containing the military maneuvers of the hostile forces against the DPRK," the agency said, using the acronym for North Korea's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

The US and neighboring South Korea are looking into the launch claims, officials in both countries told CNN.
