North Korea has launched a suspected intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) into the Sea of Japan, covering a distance of approximately 600 KM, drawing international condemnation and raising tensions in the region. The missile, identified as a new model called the Hwasong-16B, is equipped with a hypersonic gliding flight warhead and is capable of carrying a nuclear payload. This development is significant as North Korea, under Kim Jong Un's order, claims to have transitioned all its missiles to solid-fuel engines, enhancing their readiness and potentially their survivability against preemptive strikes. South Korea's military detected the launch, which occurred just days before South Korea's parliamentary elections, adding a layer of geopolitical tension. Japan's government and defense ministry confirmed the missile's launch and fall into the sea, noting that there were no reports of damage to aircraft or vessels. The launch, characterized as a solid-fuel hypersonic missile, has been met with immediate condemnation from Japan, South Korea, and the United States, highlighting concerns over regional peace and stability.
