North Korean leader Kim Jong-un oversaw a ground test of a high-thrust solid-fuel missile engine made with composite carbon fiber material, KCNA reported. The engine achieved a maximum thrust of 2,500 kilonewtons as part of the country's five-year national defense development plan.
South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff confirmed North Korea launched an unidentified projectile from the Pyongyang area on Tuesday. The projectile, believed fired in the morning, apparently failed shortly after. The launch came a day after President Lee Jae-myung expressed regret over drone flights by South Korean individuals into the North.

North Korea test-fired an upgraded 600-millimeter multiple rocket launcher on Tuesday under leader Kim Jong-un's supervision, following his recent factory inspection of the system. State media reported the test demonstrated high accuracy over long range, calling it vital for the country's strategic deterrent ahead of next month's party congress.
