Kim Jong-un supervises launch of new hypersonic missile in North Korea

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.
