Pyongyang, January 15 (KCNA) — On the afternoon of January 14th, 2024 the DPRK Missile Administration conducted a test-fire of an intermediate-range (solid-fuel) ballistic missile loaded with a hypersonic (manoeuvrable) controlled warhead.
The test-fire was aimed at verifying the gliding and (controlled) manoeuvring characteristics of intermediate-range hypersonic warhead and the reliability of newly developed multi-stage – high-thrust – (solid-fuel) engines.
The test-fire was successfully conducted.
The test-fire never affected the security of any neighbouring country and had nothing to do with the regional situation.
The Missile Administration explained that the test is a part of the Administration and its affiliated Defence Science Institutes’ regular activities for developing powerful (deterrent) weapon systems. (End)
