North Korea has successfully tested a powerful missile engine that could be used in missiles that could reach the US. This test is conducted under the military program of the country. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un himself observed the engine test and hailed it as a major step towards increasing the country's military power.
According to state media, this new engine is more powerful than before and uses modern technology. It is believed that it will be used in long-range missiles (ICBM-Intercontinental Ballistic Missile), which can reach America.
The test is part of North Korea's 5-year military expansion plan. The aim is to make nuclear-capable missiles more robust. New technology can make it difficult to detect the missile.
Experts say that North Korea is trying to build missiles that can carry multiple warheads simultaneously. Kim Jong Un recently accused the US of pursuing an “aggressive policy”. In such a situation, he said, his country will further strengthen its nuclear power.
North Korea still has some technical challenges, some foreign experts say, such as protecting the warhead from the heat generated by re-entry into the atmosphere. However, some people consider it less important considering the program has been running for many years. After Kim's talks with US President Donald Trump failed in 2019, North Korea quickly began work on increasing its nuclear arsenal.
At a meeting of the Workers' Party in February, Kim opened the door to talks with Trump again but said the US must first drop its demand for North Korea's nuclear disarmament. The test comes amid an ongoing war in the Middle East, further escalating global tensions.
