North Korea claims to have tested its "strongest" missile to date

  • last year
North Korea claims to have successfully tested its "most potent" missile to date, a new solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile.
The launch on Thursday, which prompted a temporary evacuation order in Japan, was praised by state media as a "miraculous success."
It is more difficult to intercept solid-fuel missiles since they can be fired more quickly than liquid-fuel ones. Analysts point out that they do have drawbacks.
