On Tuesday, North Korea announced it had tested a new weapons system described as hypersonic. The tests were observed by Kim Jong Un, who stated the weapon's development would strengthen war readiness and cause an "incurable headache" for enemies, according to North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). Two short-range missiles were launched three hours apart from Wonsan on Sunday, flying approximately 280 miles and 370 miles before landing in waters outside Japan's exclusive economic zone. This series of military demonstrations follows years of intensified missile testing by Kim, who now possesses an extensive arsenal including long-range nuclear-capable missiles potentially reaching the US mainland and shorter-range systems targeting South Korea and Japan.
