North Korea launched test-fires new solid-fuel hypersonic missile

North Korea launched test-fires new solid-fuel hypersonic missile on Tuesday at Pyongyang with the presence of North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un.

North Korea has long sought to master more advanced hypersonic and solid-fuel technologies, to make its missiles more capable of neutralizing South Korean-US missile defence systems. Analysts said North Korea's latest demonstration of technical improvements would potentially impact regional security.
