North Korea says it tested hypersonic missile

Al Jazeera  

Pyongyang has been developing its arsenal with denuclearisation talks stalled since 2019. The weapon North Korea fired off its east coast on Tuesday morning was a newly-developed hypersonic missile, state media said, in the latest advance in weaponry for the nuclear-armed nation. The development of the weapon system increases North Korea’s defence capabilities, the Korean Central News Agency said on Wednesday, describing the missile as a “strategic weapon”. “This is the first test of a liquid propellant missile in North Korea since November 2017,” he said in a post on Twitter. However, if Pyongyang manages to fit a nuclear warhead on even a rudimentary hypersonic, it would be a dangerous weapon because it wouldn’t have to be extremely accurate to threaten the nearby metropolis of Seoul.” ‘Predictable’ South Korea has been trying to entice the North back to engagement; however, talks on denuclearisation have stalled since 2019 after the collapse of a summit between Kim and former US President Donald Trump.
