  • The US and South Korea are said to be 'closely analysing' the latest missile tests from North Korea, which the hermit state said are part of an 'overall plan to implement efforts to build the country'

North Korea's recent successful test of a new intermediate-range ballistic missile, named the Hwasong-16B, has escalated tensions in the region. The test, overseen by leader Kim Jong Un, demonstrated the missile's ability to carry a hypersonic warhead, which can travel at speeds exceeding Mach 5, making it difficult to intercept. This development comes amidst ongoing military exercises between the U.S. and South Korea, which North Korea views as provocative. The test has raised concerns about an arms race in Northeast Asia, with South Korea, Japan, and the U.S. condemning the launch. Analysts suggest that this move by North Korea is aimed at enhancing its nuclear capabilities and negotiating leverage, potentially leading to increased instability and prompting further military responses from neighboring countries.
