PYONGYANG, Jan 15 (NNN-KCNA) – The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), successfully test-fired an intermediate-range solid-fuel ballistic missile, loaded with “a hypersonic manoeuvrable controlled warhead,” yesterday afternoon.
The test-fire was aimed at verifying the gliding and manoeuvring characteristics of the warhead, and the reliability of the newly developed multi-stage high-thrust solid-fuel engines.
The test-fire did not affect the security of any neighbouring country, and had nothing to do with the regional situation.– NNN-KCNA
