North Korea reported yet another missile test from its launch site near its capital, Pyongyang, on Jan. 15. It involved a new solid-fuel intermediate-range missile tipped with a hypersonic warhead.

The news comes amid ongoing tension between North Korea and the West, as the communist country aims to demonstrate its ballistic missile capabilities in an attempt to assert dominance in the region through the deployment of more powerful and harder-to-detect weapons.
