Footage of North Korea’s latest missile test has been shown by state media as leader Kim Jong Un vowed to expand his collection of nuclear-capable weapons.
North Korea said its latest weapons on Tuesday (7 January) was a new hypersonic intermediate-range missile designed to strike remote targets in the Pacific.
The North Korean state media report came a day after South Korea’s military said it detected North Korea launching a missile that flew 1,100 kilometers (685 miles) before landing in waters between the Korean Peninsula and Japan.
The launch, conducted weeks before Donald Trump returns as US president, came off a torrid year in weapons testing.
