’They can kill millions’ North Korea launches ‘extremely unreliable’ missiles as tensions escalate

North Korea successfully test-fired a new mid-to long-range solid-fuel, hypersonic missile, state-run television KRT said on Wednesday (April 3). KRT released a video of state’s leader Kim Jong Un overseeing the launch, and lauding it as a strategic weapon that demonstrates the “absolute superiority“ of North Korea’s defence technology. With this, North Korea has “fully turned all tactical, operational, and strategic-grade missiles of different ranges into solid-fuel, with warhead control, and capable of nuclearisation,“ Kim said, according to state media. North Korea fired a suspected intermediate-range ballistic missile into the sea on Tuesday (April 2) in a possible test, drawing swift condemnation from South Korea, Japan and the United States.
