Seoul. North Korea has revealed details of its newly tested intercontinental ballistic missile, calling it the “world’s most powerful” missile. Experts from outside countries considered this claim to be North Korea’s propaganda. North Korea’s test shows progress in its efforts to build up its weapons stockpile. The missile North Korea tested on Thursday flew higher and remained in the air longer than any other weapon the country has tested so far.
This indicates that North Korea has made progress in developing a nuclear-tipped intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capable of reaching the US mainland. But foreign experts assess that the country still needs to master some technical issues before acquiring such a functional ICBM.
On Friday, North Korea’s Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) identified the missile as the “Hwasong-19” ICBM and described it as “the world’s most powerful strategic missile” and a “sophisticated weapon system.” . The country’s leader Kim Jong Un watched the missile test and thanked weapons scientists for demonstrating North Korea’s “unique strategic nuclear strike capability,” KCNA reported.
