The missile is considered to be one of the country’s new ‘game-changer’ intercontinental ballistic missiles and was paraded at a military parade in the capital yesterday.
But the launch from Sinpo, where North Korea’s biggest submarine base is located, was an embarrassing failure as the ‘ballistic missile blew up almost immediately’, South Korean and US military officials say.
According to a military official the weapon is ‘presumed to be a new ICBM’ as it is longer than the existing KN-08 or KN-14 missiles.
