north korea has tested a new solid-fuel ICBM, reportedly warning its enemies of 'deep concern and horror'. The AV test-fired a new solid-fueled intercontinental ballistic missile today, amid criticism from Pyongyang in recent months that US-South Korea joint military drills have escalated tensions and ramped up weapons tests around the world. Comprehensively reforming the elements will seriously promote the effectiveness of its nuclear counter-offensive posture and bring about a change in the practice of its offensive military strategy,
north korea said.
The purpose of the test launch was to check the military and also confirm the performance of stage separation technology, high-power solid-fuel multi-stage engines, and the reliability of control systems with various functions. Photos released by state
media showed
supreme Leader Kim Jong Un - with his young daughter - watching the launch of the missile in a puff of smoke, smiling happily after the launch was reported to be successful.
They will
strike with overwhelming force and respond aggressively until the enemy abandons its passive strategy and foolish behavior so that the enemy will suffer endless fear, North Korean President Kim Jong Un added. A day earlier,
south korea said
north korea may have tested a new type of ballistic missile, a missile test that prompted an evacuation order in parts of Japan.
In recent months, Pyongyang has criticized joint US-South Korea military exercises for escalating tensions and weapons tests, which
north korea calls aggressive moves by Washington.
north korea tested a solid-fuel ICBM today, days after Kim called for a "practical and offensive" deterrence to counter these aggressive moves.
