North Korean state media reports the new tactical guided weapon has a 'powerful warhead.'
The report is vague, but the description suggests this was not a ballistic missile or nuclear device.
The news comes as the U.S. and North Korea struggle to maintain talks.
President Donald Trump has met leader Kim Jong-un twice.
But Trump appears no closer to convincing Kim to give up his nuclear weapons.
The report also puts greater pressure on South Korean President Moon Jae-in.
The public here is growing more convinced he'll be unable to maintain peace talks.
