The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported on Sunday that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un observed a high-thrust solid-fuel engine test, highlighting the country’s push to boost its strategic military capabilities.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has overseen a successful test of a high-thrust, solid-fuel engine, marking a significant step in boosting the country’s strategic military capability. The engine, with a maximum thrust of 2,500 kilonewtons, is part of North Korea’s efforts to modernise its arsenal of missiles capable of reaching the United States mainland.
This comes after Kim’s speech at North Korea’s Parliament, during which he pledged to solidify his country’s status as a nuclear power and accused the US of global “state terrorism and aggression”, likely referencing the Middle East conflict.
