Initial estimates found Tuesday’s missile travelled more than 700km to a maximum altitude of 60km at a top speed up to 10 times the speed of sound , South Korea's joint chiefs of staff said in a statement. North Korea has joined a global race in developing hypersonic missiles, which are usually defined as weapons that reach speeds of at least five times the speed of sound — or about 6,200km/h — and can manoeuvre at relatively low trajectories, making them much harder to detect and intercept.
The US military’s Indopacific Command said while it had assessed that the launch did not pose an immediate threat to the US or its allies, it “highlights the destabilising impact of North Korea's illicit weapons programme”. UN Security Council resolutions ban all ballistic missile and nuclear tests by North Korea, and have imposed sanctions over the programmes.
North Korea has said it is open to talk, but only if the US and others drop “hostile policies” such as sanctions and military drills.
