The missile flew about 1,000 kilometers before landing between the Korean Peninsula and Japan, demonstrating advancements in solid-fuel and hypersonic technology. The test raises concerns about regional security and international tensions, with South Korea and Japan urging North Korea to halt its ballistic testing activities that violate U.N. Security Council resolutions. Additionally, there are allegations of arms cooperation between North Korea and Russia, further complicating the geopolitical landscape.

North Korea's New Missile Test Sparks Evacuation Order in Japan

North Korea has successfully tested its first solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), the Hwasong-18, which was supervised by leader Kim Jong Un and described as a "miraculous success" by state media. Solid fuel missiles are safer, easier to manoeuvre and faster to deploy than liquid-propelled variants. Despite a UN ban on ballistic missile testing, North Korea has carried out numerous launches in recent years as it looks to advance its military prowess. The Hwasong-18 launch comes two days before the country commemorates the birth of founder Kim Il Sung.
