North Korea said its latest weapons test was of a “solid-fuel” intercontinental ballistic missile.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Seoul: <\/b><\/p>\n

North Korea said its latest weapons test was of a “solid-fuel” intercontinental ballistic missile, with leader Kim Jong Un saying it marked a major step in Pyongyang’s capacity to conduct a nuclear counterstrike, state media said Friday.<\/p>\n

The new “Hwasung-18” ICBM “was test fired on Thursday as the key means of strategic military force,” the KCNA news agency reported.<\/p>\n

Kim said the ICBM’s development “will greatly reorganise our strategic deterrence and reinforce effectiveness of our nuclear counterattack,” according to KCNA.<\/p>\n

Seoul’s military said Thursday it had detected one “medium range or longer” ballistic missile launched on a lofted trajectory — up not out — from the Pyongyang area at 7:23 am (1023 GMT), which flew 1,000 kilometres (620 miles).<\/p>\n

All of Pyongyang’s known intercontinental ballistic missiles are liquid-fuelled, and solid-fuel ICBMs that can be launched from land or submarines have long been at the top of Kim’s wish list.<\/p>\n

Such missiles are easier to store and transport, more stable and quicker to prepare for launch, and thus harder to detect and destroy pre-emptively.<\/p>\n

At a military parade in Pyongyang in February, North Korea showed off a record number of nuclear and intercontinental ballistic missiles, including what analysts said was possibly a new solid-fuel ICBM.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes days before North Korea is set to mark one of its most important political anniversaries, the Day of the Sun on April 15.<\/p>\n

The date commemorates founding leader Kim Il Sung’s birth anniversary, and has typically been celebrated with significant weapons tests or military parades.<\/p>\n
