news.yahoo.com — January 7, 2025 at 05:00 PM UTC

North Korea has successfully tested a new hypersonic missile, claiming it can deter rivals in the Pacific. This test occurred just before the inauguration of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump and coincided with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken's visit to South Korea. The missile reportedly flew 1,500 kilometers at speeds of 12 times the speed of sound. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un stated that the missile's advanced technology could challenge existing defenses and enhance the country's military capabilities. U.S. and South Korean officials condemned the launch, emphasizing the need for stronger cooperation among allies. Concerns were raised about increasing collaboration between North Korea and Russia, particularly regarding advanced military technology.
