SEOUL: North Korea said on Monday it had successfully test-fired a new ballistic missile tipped with a hypersonic maneuverable warhead, the latest breakthrough in its pursuit of advanced weaponry to threaten South Korean and United States targets.

In the latest wave of missile attacks by Russia on Ukraine, the United States has reported the deployment of North Korean weaponry for the first time.

Russia used North Korea-made KN-23 and KN-25 short-range ballistic missiles in Ukraine. Despite the UN arms embargo on North Korea, suspicions arise of a larger arms deal between Russia and North Korea. The exchange may involve missiles for Russian military assistance, possibly including fighter aircraft and advanced technologies. The deal benefits North Koreas military development while potentially providing battlefield performance data against Ukrainian and NATO air defenses.
