(MENAFN) North Korea has announced the successful testing of a recently created solid-fuel engine, saying that the trial will pave the way for a "new strategic weapon system" after its military announced intentions to build an enhanced intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).
The test was conducted on Thursday morning at the Sohae Satellite Launching Ground in Cholsan's coastline area, according to the state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
“The Academy of Defence Science succeeded in the static firing test of a high-thrust solid-fuel engine with a thrust of 140tf [ton-force], the first of its kind in the country,” the source stated, highlighting that the “reliability and safety” of the new propulsion system were “scientifically confirmed.”
North Korean president Kim Jong-un, who was present for the test-firing, praised the military after the trial, stating he anticipates “another new type of strategic weapon to appear in the shortest period of time.”
