North Korea's Missile Program Continues to Expand
New Hypersonic Missile Test
Pyongyang Claims Successful Launch of New Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile
North Korea has announced the successful test of a new hypersonic intermediate-range ballistic missile. The missile, dubbed "Hwasong-8," is said to be powered by solid propellants and capable of carrying a warhead of up to 3,000 kilograms.
The launch comes amid growing tensions between North Korea and the United States, as well as increased military activity in the region. The United States has condemned the test, calling it a violation of UN Security Council resolutions.
North Korea's missile program has been a major source of concern for the international community. The country has tested a number of missiles in recent years, including intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) capable of reaching the United States.
The development of hypersonic missiles is particularly concerning, as they are difficult to intercept due to their speed and maneuverability. North Korea's continued pursuit of missile technology poses a serious threat to regional and global stability.
