North Korea unveiled its most powerful intercontinental ballistic missile, the Hwasong-20, during a military parade in Pyongyang presided over by Kim Jong Un. Mounted on an 11-axle launcher, the missile features a 1,971 kN solid-fuel engine and could travel up to 10,400 km, placing most of the U.S. mainland within range. Analysts warn the missile’s potential MIRV capability makes interception extremely difficult, signaling a significant escalation in North Korea’s nuclear strike capabilities.
