“North Korea test-fired a new ballistic missile carrying a super-large warhead and an improved strategic cruise missile, its state-run media reported Thursday, as leader Kim Jong Un called weapons development ‘the most important affair of the country.’ The new missile, named the Hwasongpho-11-Da-4.5, was tipped with a 4.5-ton super-large conventional warhead in a launch conducted Wednesday, the official Korean Central News Agency reported. … Photographs accompanying the report showed a missile detonating on a hilly inland area, instead of the North’s usual targets in the sea or on an uninhabited island.” (09/19/24)
