In a recent announcement, North Korea claimed a successful test aimed at developing missiles with multiple warheads. However, South Korea has dismissed this claim as a “deception” to cover up a failed launch. According to the North Korean state media agency, KCNA, the test was conducted on Wednesday using the first-stage, solid-fuel engine of an intermediate-range ballistic missile. The missile reportedly succeeded in separating warheads, accurately guiding them to three preset targets, Reuters reported. Contrarily, South Korea’s military suggests that the missile exploded in its initial stage of flight.
