However, many experts doubted this claim.<\/p>\n<ul><\/ul>\n<p>A hypersonic missile actually refers to the payload that a rocket carries aloft. In this case, that payload could be what is called a hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV).<\/p>\n<p>An HGV can theoretically fly as fast as 20 times the speed of sound and can be very maneuverable in flight, making it almost impossible to shoot down, according to experts.<br \/>\nBut a South Korean government statement Tuesday said, &#8220;Our military has the ability to detect and intercept this projectile, and we are continuously strengthening our response system.&#8221;<br \/>\nSouth Korea &#8220;expressed a strong regret over the North&#8217;s launch, which took place at a time when political stability is very important.&#8221;<br \/>\nA statement from US Forces Korea said the test posed no threat to US or South Korean territory or military personnel, but &#8220;the missile launch highlights the destabilizing impact of (North Korea&#8217;s) illicit weapons program.&#8221;<br \/>\nNorth Korea has not released any information about Tuesday&#8217;s launch. Last week, North Korean state media gave details 24 hours after the test.<\/p>\n<ul><\/ul>\n<p>Tuesday&#8217;s test covered about the same distance at last week&#8217;s, 700 kilometers (435 miles), and the missile fell into the sea outside of Japan&#8217;s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), according to Japan&#8217;s Defense Ministry.<br \/>\nPyongyang is barred from testing ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons under international law.<br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2022\/01\/10\/asia\/north-korea-missile-intl\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seoul, South Korea (CNN)A suspected ballistic missile<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":149387,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23051],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
