North Korea successfully tested a new solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), which is claimed to be a significant upgrade to its arsenal. Experts told Radio Free Asia that the new missile would, once perfected, allow it to fire missiles with shorter wait times. Pyongyang is moving towards a solid-fuel missile propulsion system, with Kim Jong Un saying it was a goal for this year to have operational solid-fuel ICBMs.
