North Korea claims progress in development of hypersonic missile

Al Jazeera  

The country is stepping up its development of more technologically-advanced weaponry capable of striking further afield. North Korea has successfully tested a solid-fuel engine for its new-type intermediate-range hypersonic missile. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un oversaw the test, which took place on Tuesday at the Sohae Satellite Launching Ground in the country’s northwest, the official Korean Central News Agency said. Kim announced in 2021 that he wanted to modernise the military and announced a series of technologically-advanced weapons systems, including a hypersonic missile, that North Korea planned to develop. Pyongyang’s latest announcement came a day after North Korea said Kim oversaw drills involving “newly-equipped super-large” multiple rocket launchers.
