N. Korea claims to have successfully tested solid-fuel hypersonic IRBM

북한 “신형 중장거리 극초음속미사일 시험발사 성공“ North Korea has this morning claimed that it successfully test-fired a new type of solid-fuel intermediate-range ballistic missile, carrying a hypersonic warhead. The North's state-run media said Wednesday that its leader Kim Jong-un oversaw the first test launch of the Hwasong-16 missile the day before, and that it was aimed at verifying the reliability of the weapon system. It claimed that all of North Korea's missiles are now solid-fueled, nuclear-capable and tipped with maneuverable warheads. This comes after the South Korean military said on Tuesday that it detected a ballistic missile fired from Pyongyang, which flew about 600 kilometers before falling into the East Sea. #NorthKorea #hypersonic_missile #IRBM #securitythreat #military_provocation #ballistic_missile #북한 #극초음속미사일_시험발사 #Arirang_News #아리랑뉴스 📣 Facebook : 📣 Twitter : 📣 Homepage : 2024-04-03, 09:00 (KST)
