North Korea has tested a hypersonic missile three times in two weeks since the New Year. The country’s official media has also claimed that the test was successful three times. While expressing doubts about this success, there is another reason for concern in America. At least two of the three missile launchers were sent from that country. The United States has imposed sanctions on eight Koreans and one Russian over the allegations.
On January 11, North Korea test-fired the third missile. Earlier, on January 5 and 6, they tested two more hypersonic missiles. The missiles were fired in the presence of President Kim Jong Un. The US Special Intelligence Agency, which is set up to monitor support for militant activity, has learned that the first two missiles were sent from that country.
They have enough information and evidence in this regard. Based on that evidence, sanctions have been imposed on the citizens of North Korea and Russia. In this way, North Korea uses foreign agents to collect missile components, the agency said in a statement.
Foreign Secretary Anthony Blinken said in a statement that one of them was a North Korean and the other a Russian national who had been directly involved in the collection of missile material.
The hypersonic missile, which was launched on a test basis on Tuesday, was able to hit a target floating in the sea about 1,000 kilometers (621 miles) away, according to local media reports. This hypersonic technology missile can run at a speed of more than one mile per second if you hold a unit of miles.
