The South Korean military said the North's test on Wednesday ended in failure.
North Korean state media on Thursday said the country's top missile scientists verified a new multi-warhead delivery system that could significantly complicate U.S. and allied defense planning against Kim Jong Un's regime.
KCNA's decision not to publish photos of the warheads striking their targets, and Kim's apparent absence from the event, both raised questions, he said.If proven, however, it would be North Korea's first known MIRV test and another milestone on Kim's 2021 wish list of sophisticated weaponry, alongside spy satellites, solid-fuel ICBMs and submarine-launched nuclear missiles.It also appeared to be another instance of Pyongyang ignoring U.N.
