North Korean leader Kim Jong-un observed a hypersonic missile test launch from Pyongyang on January 4, 2026—the country's first of the year—state media KCNA reported the next day. The missiles successfully struck targets 1,000 km away in the East Sea, with Pyongyang linking the drill to recent international crises including the U.S. capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
China's military has unveiled its longest-range missile, the YJ-20, which appears to be nearing mass production. A video shows its final testing phase, with crew reporting over radio, “Missile hit. Target destroyed.” The footage reveals no details on the time, location, or target.
