North Korea has tested a high-thrust solid-fuel engine that experts said would allow quicker and more mobile launch of ballistic missiles, as it seeks to develop a new strategic weapon and speeds up its nuclear and missile programs.
North Korea has been working to build more solid-fuel missiles that are more stable and can be launched with almost no warning or preparation time. Lim Eul-chul, a professor of North Korean studies at Kyungnam University in South Korea, said the latest test signals North Korea’s push to build more powerful ICBMs and submarine-launched ballisitc missiles .“We cannot rule out the possibility of the North test-firing an ICBM with a new solid-fuel rocket next year,” Lim said.Developing a solid-fuel ICBM was part of the North’s five military tasks rolled out at its key party meeting last year.
North Korea has conducted an unprecedented number of missile tests this year, including an ICBM capable of reaching the U.S. mainland, despite international bans and sanctions.
