"North Korea Tests Solid-Fuel Hypersonic Missile with New Warhead"
North Korea claims to have successfully launched a new solid-fuel, intermediate-range missile with a hypersonic warhead, aiming to verify its reliability and maneuverable flight capabilities. The missile, reportedly designed to strike U.S. military bases in Guam and Japan, flew approximately 620 miles before landing in waters between the Korean Peninsula and Japan. This test follows North Korea's claim of successfully testing engines for a new solid-fuel intermediate-range ballistic missile two months ago, and comes amid concerns about the country's pursuit of more powerful weapons.
