According to KCNA, the missile initially reached a height of 101.1 km and then 72.3 km, making a flight of a total of 1,000 km. Αs a result, it accurately hit the target in the Sea of Japan, as was originally planned.
The images and video released by North Korea offer a clear view of the manufacturing features of the Hwasong-16B-type missile system, which consists of the 14-wheeled transport vehicle, the missile’s solid fuel booster, and the glide vehicle in front.
For its part, South Korea announced that according to the estimates of the competent authorities, the total distance covered by the medium-range ballistic missile was about 600 km and that North Korea probably tested a new type of warhead, which was also the reason for conducting the test.
