North Korea tests solid-fuel motor, aiming to build new weapon

PYONGYANG, 17 December 2022, (TON): State media said “North Korea has successfully tested a “high-thrust solid-fuel motor” with the aim of developing a new weapon.

Despite heavy international sanctions over its weapons programmes, Pyongyang has built up an arsenal of intercontinental ballistic missiles.

All its known ICBMs are liquid-fuelled, however, and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said last year that developing solid-fuel engines for more advanced missiles was a strategic priority.
