Quick Glance: North Korea Advances Hypersonic Missile Development
  • North Korea successfully tested a solid-fuel engine for its new-type intermediate-range hypersonic missile, designed to strike distant U.S. targets in the region.

  • Kim Jong Un guided the ground test of the solid-fuel engine for the hypersonic missile, emphasizing the strategic importance of this new weapon.

  • The development of hypersonic weapons aims to overcome U.S. and South Korean missile defense systems, although their desired speed and maneuverability have not been proven in recent tests.

  • Observers anticipate North Korea escalating its missile tests ahead of the U.S. presidential election in November, with the U.S. and South Korea expanding their military exercises in response.

Quick Glance: North Korea's Kim Supervises 'Super-Large' Rocket Launcher Drills
  • North Korean leader Kim Jong Un oversaw live-fire drills involving 'newly-equipped super-large' multiple rocket launchers.

  • The drills aimed to test the 'real war capabilities' of the 600-millimeter multiple rocket launchers and included simulating an aerial explosion of a shell at a predetermined altitude above the target.

  • Kim emphasized that the rocket launchers would be the 'core central striking means' in war preparations and that the army should possess destructive offensive means to block and suppress the possibility of war.

  • North Korea is banned from testing ballistic missiles due to long-running sanctions, and the latest tests were seen as the regime's attempt to demonstrate strength, signal costs on the Korean Peninsula for security cooperation, and warn Washington against increased pressure.
