North Korea said it had tested a new solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile, the Hwasong-18, to ‘radically promote’ its nuclear counterattack capability, state media said
SEOUL, April 14 - North Korea announced on Friday it had tested a new solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile , a development set to "radically promote" its forces, which experts said would facilitate missile launches with little warning.
North Korean state media outlet KCNA released photos of Kim watching the launch, accompanied by his wife, sister and daughter, and the missile covered in camouflage nets on a mobile launcher. A state media video showed the Hwasong-18 missile blasting off from a launch tube, creating a cloud of smoke.
"By deploying U.S. strategic assets with increased frequency and intensity, the two countries will continue demonstrating our strong alliance's will that we will never tolerate any nuclear attack from North Korea," the ministry said in a statement.
