BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.
Sheikh Qassem: The government’s latest decision [on the disarmament of the Resistance] is non-charter-based, and if the government continues down this path, it is not faithful to Lebanon’s sovereignty.

DRPK fired four strategic cruise missiles into the sea, official television reported Friday, adding that the exercise "demonstrated once again Pyongyang's nuclear fighting force's war posture."

The four "Hwasal-2" missiles were launched from the Kim Chaek City area of North Hamgyong province into the East Sea, also known as the Sea of Japan, and "precisely" hit their target, according to the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

The launching drill proved the weapon system's reliability and tested the swift response of strategic cruise missile units, which are a crucial component of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's nuclear deterrent capabilities, as per the news agency.

Before striking the target, the four launched strategic cruise missiles flew an oval and "8"-figure path simulating a distance of 2,000 kilometers placed on the East Sea of Korea for 10,208 to 10,224 seconds, the report detailed.

The report further revealed that the Workers' Party of Korea's Central Military Committee expressed tremendous satisfaction with the outcome of the launching drill.

This comes shortly after state-media Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported that the DPRK fired two short-range missiles on Monday after it had launched its powerful intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) last Saturday. 

As South Korea weaves closer ties with the US, DPRK's leader declared last year that his country is an "irreversible" nuclear power, conducting weapon tests nearly every month, including the launch of its most advanced intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).
