The successful launch marks a significant breakthrough for the country’s nuclear counterattack capabilities.

South Korea’s military shared that a launch conducted by the North triggered a seek shelter alert in parts of Japan, the cause is expected to be the new missile.

The testing of the more technologically advanced solid-fuel missile was one of Kim Jong Un’s major goals in his military campaign that he announced earlier this year.

These kind of missiles are easier to store and transport, more stable, and quicker to prepare for launch, making it harder to detect and destroy.
