North Korea on Friday said it has successfully tested a solid-fueled rocket motor, a development that could lead to Kim Jong Un’s regime being able to more quickly and reliably fire an intercontinental ballistic missile in the future. The new high-thrust rocket motor was tested at a satellite launching ground site northwest of Pyongyang on Thursday, according to a report by the state-run Korean Central News Agency .
North Korea has been testing its ballistic missiles at a record pace, launching the projectiles on 34 occasions so far this year and sometimes testing multiple missiles each time, according to a CNN count. On November 18, Pyongyang tested what KCNA said was a Hwasong-17, a liquid-fueled ICBM that would have the range to reach all of the continental US.
