North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has issued a stern warning to enemies, urging them 'not to play with fire' as he oversaw the launch of a new tactical ballistic missile system equipped with an autonomous navigation system. This launch is part of a series of increasingly sophisticated tests by North Korea, which has recently fired cruise missiles, tactical rockets, and hypersonic weapons. The country has confirmed the missile launch and vowed to bolster its nuclear force. Kim also inspected Hwasong-17 and Hwasong-18 ICBMs, with the latter having an operational range of 15,000 km and a flight altitude of over 6,000 km. North Korea is developing new weapons capable of carrying nuclear warheads, including solid-fuel ICBMs and an underwater nuclear weapons system, and is also working on hypersonic missiles designed to penetrate U.S. air defenses.
