In a recent development, North Korea claimed to have made progress in testing a missile designed to carry multiple warheads, with the aim of evading U.S. missile defenses. The state-run Korean Central News Agency reported a successful separation and guidance control test of individual mobile warheads during a recent launch.

The test included the first stage engine of an intermediate-range solid-fuel ballistic missile carrying warheads that were guided accurately to three different targets. This development, if confirmed, indicates significant progress towards North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s goal of creating a long-range missile with multiple warheads to overwhelm U.S. defenses.
In contrast, South Korea’s military labeled the launch as a failure, with the North Korean missile exploding mid-air early in its flight. Despite North Korea’s claims, experts remain skeptical about the true success of the missile test.
