North Korea says it tested a new hypersonic intermediate-range missile that’s easier to hide
North Korea successfully launched a new solid-fuel hypersonic missile, as reported by Rodong Sinmun.
The missile traveled around 600 kilometers before landing in the East Sea, according to South Korea's military.
The flight distance claimed by North Korea was deemed an exaggeration by the Republic of Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff, as reported by Yonhap News Agency.
North Korea states that it has tested a new type of missile. Dictator Kim Jong-un wants to develop “supremacy.” He has recently given up the goal of peaceful reunification.
After a last ballistic missile failed in the Sea of Japan, Kim Jong Un is overseeing the test of a new hypersonic missile that Pyongyang has long sought to acquire.
