新型極超音速ミサイル、試射成功　正恩氏「すべて固体燃料、核兵器化」―北朝鮮

　【ソウル時事】朝鮮中央通信は３日、北朝鮮が２日に固体燃料式で極超音速弾頭を搭載した中距離弾道ミサイルの発射実験に成功したと報じた。金正恩朝鮮労働党総書記が現地指導し、「威力ある戦略攻撃兵器が生まれた」と強調。弾頭部の機動性が検証されたとしている。
　正恩氏は「すべてのミサイルを固体燃料化し、弾頭の制御を可能にし、核兵器化することが実現した」と主張。「驚異的な成果は、核戦争抑止力向上において大きな変化をもたらす」と述べた。（2024/04/03-09:19）

North Korea has succeeded in test-firing Tuesday a solid-fuel intermediate-range ballistic missile tipped with a hypersonic warhead, the country's state media said Wednesday.
   North Korean leader Kim Jong Un guided the launch and "said with pride that another powerful strategic offensive weapon was developed," according to the Korean Central News Agency.
   The test launch verified the maneuvering capability of the warhead, it said.
   Kim was quoted as saying that North Korea has succeeded in the project of making all missiles "solid-fueled, warhead-controlled and nuclear warhead-carrying," and that the success will bring about great change in enhancing the country's nuclear war deterrence capability.
   The latest hypersonic warhead is said to be difficult to detect and intercept because it can separate from the missile and glide. Solid-fuel missiles can be launched in a shorter period of time than liquid-fuel missiles, which require time to inject fuel.
