NEW & DEVELOPING

This undated photo provided on Friday, Nov. 29 2019, by the North Korean government, shows North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, center, surrounded by a military unit, reacts to what it claims as a test firing of its "super-large" multiple rocket launcher in North Korea. North Korea says the latest test-firing was a final review of the weapon's combat application. A Friday report from the Korean Central News Agency likely means North Korea is preparing to mass produce and deploy the new weapons system soon. Some experts say it's an attempt to wrest concessions from the United States in nuclear diplomacy. (Korean Central News AgencyKorea News Service via AP)
