North Korea says it tested hypersonic missile

Aljazeera says the weapon North Korea fired off its east coast on Tuesday morning was a newly-developed hypersonic missile, state media said, in the latest advance in weaponry for the nuclear-armed nation.

The development of the weapon system increases North Korea’s defence capabilities, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said on Wednesday, describing the missile as a “strategic weapon”.

The official Rodong Sinmun newspaper carried a picture of the weapon – with a set of guidance fins at the base of its nose cone – ascending into the morning sky.
