North Korea state-run media say that the military conducted a test of a new type of anti-aircraft guided weapon system.
The Korean Central News Agency said on Sunday that the country's leader Kim Jong Un supervised the test. But it did not report its date or location.
The Rodong Sinmun, North Korea's Workers' Party paper, carried photos of a missile being fired from a mobile launcher using "cold-launch" technology.
The system employs compressed gas to eject the missile from a tube on the ground before igniting it in mid-air.
The paper said that the system successfully detected and hit the target which was described as an unmanned aircraft or a missile.
North Korea conducted a launch test of the same missile in April last year.
The KCNA said that Kim hailed the latest launch, saying that its hitting accuracy has increased, and that some defects discovered last year have been overcome.
He reportedly said the weapon system should be mass-produced "so as to completely spoil the enemy's wild dream to command the air."
Observers say North Korea wants to show off its development of various weapons as the US military plans to hold joint drills with 2 of its aircraft carriers near the Korean Peninsula.

The Islamic State militant group has claimed responsibility for an attack on a bus in Egypt that killed 29 people and injured dozens.
Gunmen assaulted a bus carrying Coptic Christians in the Minya governorate, about 200 kilometers south of Cairo, on Friday. The victims include some children.
The Islamic State group released an online statement Saturday saying one of its units attacked the bus.
Christian churches in Egypt have been hit by bombings, with more than 70 people killed between December and April. The militant group claimed responsibility for all the attacks in an apparent effort to win support from some Muslims who have ill feelings toward Christians.
The Ramadan holy month tends to be marked by heightened extremist activity.
Authorities in Egypt and many other Muslim-majority countries are on high alert for possible terrorist attacks.

Key words : British cancel

British Airways cancelled all flights from London's Heathrow and Gatwick airports on Saturday after a computer system failure.
The problem hit the airline's global IT system in the morning. It disabled check-in services and baggage handling at the two airports. BA was forced to cancel all flights from both airports for the rest of the day.
Airline officials ruled out a cyber-attack as the cause of the system failure. But they say Sunday's flights may also be affected.
The disruption occurred on a busy holiday weekend. British media say BA passengers also experienced severe delays and cancelled flights due to system failures in July and September of last year.

Key members of the UN Human Rights Council expressed concern about the arrest and detention of a peace activist in a letter to the Japanese authorities.
The Working Group on Arbitrary Detention and 3 Special Rapporteurs sent a statement dated February 28th to Japan's government.
The statement referred to the case of Hiroji Yamashiro, who heads the Okinawa Peace Action Center.
He was arrested last year on suspicion of assaulting a defense official while protesting the construction of US military helipads in Japan's southern prefecture of Okinawa. He was indicted, and was detained for more than 5 months until March.
The statement said the charges against him represent a criminalization of his legitimate exercise of his rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly.
The statement also alleged lack of due process, particularly in connection with his longtime detention.
It appealed to the Japanese government to take measures to guarantee his right to liberty in accordance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
Yamashiro's trial began in March at the Naha District Court. He denied injuring the official.
The Japanese government sent a response to the statement in April.
It said Yamashiro's arrest and detention were carried out appropriately based on the country's criminal procedure law. It added that the allegation of arbitrary detention is totally wrong.

Officials in northern Japan have issued a warning against bears after a woman was found dead in a wooded area.
Police suspect the 61-year-old was attacked by a bear from the wounds on her body.
The Akita prefectural government started issuing warnings after 4 people died in bear attacks in May and June last year.
The warning is issued when attacks or sightings are reported. It advises people to avoid known bear habitats and not to work alone in fields near mountains.
