According to reports from the Associated Press, Pyongyang conducted a ground test of an upgraded solid-fuel rocket engine, which holds potential for incorporation into intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of striking the continental United States.
This novel engine, constructed from a carbon composite, achieves a peak thrust approximating 2,500 kilonewtons. South Korean specialists suggest that the DPRK withheld essential metrics, such as the engine’s operational duration, implying that announced performance figures might be exaggerated.
Kim Jong Un emphasized that the recently concluded trials are immensely significant for elevating the nation’s strategic military might to its zenith.
