North Korean leader Kim Jong-un supervised the test of a “high-thrust solid-fuel motor” for a new strategic weapon, state media reported Friday.
The development could give the despot the reins of a more mobile, harder-to-detect arsenal of interncontinental ballistic missiles that can reach the mainland of the US.
Thursday’s “static firing test” of a missile engine at the country’s northwest rocket launch facility was the first of its kind in North Korea, the official Korean Central News Agency reported.
