Sadly, after a couple of years of calm on the Korean Peninsula, we’re now back to a routine where it seems like there a missile launch taking place at least every other week. This week was no exception, with Kim Jong-un announcing yet another supposed advancement in his tactical weapons technology. This time, North Korea claims to have launched a hypersonic missile. The payload cone at the top of the missile, shown in a photo released by the country’s state-run news service, is claimed to be detachable and capable of carrying a nuclear warhead, or so they are implying. There are other technological differences from some of their previous efforts that make all of this interesting, though still almost entirely unconfirmed. (Associated Press)
North Korea said Wednesday it successfully tested a new hypersonic missile it implied was being developed as nuclear capable, as it continues to expand its military capabilities and pressure Washington and Seoul over long-stalled negotiations over its nuclear weapons.
The missile test early Tuesday was North Korea’s third round of launches this month and took place shortly before North Korea’s U.N. envoy accused the United States of hostility and demanded the Biden administration permanently end joint military exercises with South Korea and the deployment of strategic assets in the region.
A photo published in North Korea’s state media showed a missile mounted with a finned, cone-shaped payload soaring into the air amid bright orange flames.
