On the afternoon of January 14, the DPRK Missile Administration conducted a test-fire of an intermediate-range solid-fuel ballistic missile loaded with a hypersonic manoeuvrable controlled warhead.

The test-fire was aimed at verifying the gliding and manoeuvring characteristics of intermediate-range hypersonic manoeuvrable controlled warhead and the reliability of newly developed multi-stage high-thrust solid-fuel engines.

It was successfully conducted.

The test-fire never affected the security of any neighbouring country and had nothing to do with the regional situation.

The Missile Administration explained that the test is a part of regular activities of the administration and its affiliated defence science institutes for developing powerful weapon systems.
