North Korean state media reported on Sunday that Pyongyang’s latest test was of a new solid-fueled hypersonic missile.
The Korean Central News Agency said that the medium-range missile was launched on Sunday without posing a security threat to neighboring countries.
The agency added that the aim of this launch is to test the capabilities of the new high-thrust engines of multi-stage solid-fuel missiles in addition to hypersonic warheads, which are of the medium-range type.
The agency reported that a delegation headed by Foreign Minister Cho Sun Hee left Pyongyang for Russia on Sunday.
The missile launch and the delegation’s visit to Russia come amid increasing tension between the two Koreas following Pyongyang’s launch of a series of intercontinental ballistic missiles and the first military spy satellite, as well as the deepening of relations between Pyongyang and Moscow, which raised concerns in Washington and its allies.
