The new-type missile is a tactical ballistic missile capable of carrying 4.5 ton-class super-large warhead.

The test-fire was conducted with a missile tipped with a simulated heavy warhead to verify flight stability and hit accuracy at the maximum range of 500 km and the minimum range of 90 km.

The Central Military Commission of the Workers' Party of Korea reported to the plenary meeting of the WPK Central Committee on the result of the Missile Administration's test which is of great significance.

The test of the new-type weapon system is part of the regular activities of the administration and its affiliated defence science institutes.

The Missile Administration said that it will test-fire new-type tactical ballistic missile Hwasongpho-11Da-4.5 to verify flight characteristics, hit accuracy and explosion power of super-large warhead at the medium range of 250km in July.
