North Korea has reported a successful test of the Hwasongpho-11 Da-4.5 missile, capable of carrying a 4.5-tonne "superlarge warhead." The missile was tested for flight stability and hit accuracy at ranges of 500km and 90km, according to the Korean Central News Agency. South Korea's military previously reported the launch of two ballistic missiles by North Korea, with one missile failing soon after launch. The KCNA report did not disclose details about the second missile or the simulated warhead used. Despite the lack of publicized photographs, North Korea's testing of the missile's range suggested there were two launches. However, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff expressed skepticism, stating that the test launch was likely a deception, especially since one of the missiles appeared to fail midair over North Korea. The lack of photographic evidence raised questions about the test's success, while experts highlighted that the Hwasongpho-11 series of short-range ballistic missiles has been linked to military activities in Ukraine. The reported launch coincided with South Korea's military drills near the DMZ and North Korea's Missile Administration announcement of another missile test to assess the 'explosion power' of the superlarge warhead.
