South Korea successfully tested a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) on Wednesday, becoming the first country without nuclear weapons to develop such a system as it aims to better counter North Korea's growing capabilities.

President Moon Jae-in attended an underwater ejection test of the SLBM aboard the new 3,000 ton class Dosan Ahn Chang-ho submarine commissioned last month, his office said.

North Korea has unveiled a series of its own SLBMs in recent years, and is building an operational submarine to deploy them, South Korean officials have said. Officials did not elaborate on the SLBM's specifications, but the Yonhap news agency has said it has been codenamed the Hyunmoo 4-4 as a variant of the country's Hyunmoo-2B ballistic missile, which can travel about 500 km .The unveiling of the SLBM comes after the defence ministry and military had for years declined to confirm the programme, citing security and intelligence concerns.

It added that the military in July successfully carried out a fire test of a solid fuel propulsion system to be used for space vehicles.
