Experts say that this could be the KN-25 ultra-large multiple launch rocket system.
KCNA (North Korea's state news agency - ed.) writes that Kim called the super-large multiple launch rocket system one of the "main strike weapons" of his army.
The devastating offensive capabilities of our army must be more thorough in fulfilling their missions to block and suppress the possibility of war with constant impeccable readiness to destroy the enemy's capital and military force structure
Addendum
North Korea's Ultra-Large Multiple Launch Rocket System is classified as a short-range missile that can cover the entire territory of South Korea.
Pyongyang claims that such weapons can be equipped with a tactical nuclear warhead.
Photos released by KCNA show six missiles launched simultaneously, but the South Korean military said it believes North Korea has launched even more.

It is also noted that the provocation occurred when South Korea and the United States completed the 11-day annual Freedom Shield exercise.
Despite the fact that the DPRK refrained from missile tests during joint military exercises between Seoul and Washington, Kim Jong-un led military exercises involving artillery and tank units, as well as paratroopers.
