North Korea has fired off a newly developed hypersonic missile, raising fears across Asia.

North Korea fired the missile towards the sea off its east coast, as Pyongyang called on the United States and South Korea to scrap their “double standards” on weapons programs to restart diplomatic talks.

The development of the weapon system increases North Korea’s defence capabilities.

It’s believed the North Korean leader Kim Jong Un did not inspect the launch this time.

“In the first test-launch, national defense scientists confirmed the navigational control and stability of the missile in the active section,” – the report said.

It said the missile, called Hwasong-8, performed to its technical specifications “including the guiding manoeuvrability and the gliding flight characteristics of the detached hypersonic gliding warhead.”

North Korea and South Korea both test fired ballistic missiles on Sept 15, the latest volley in an arms race in which both nations have developed increasingly sophisticated weapons while efforts prove fruitless to get talks going on defusing tensions.
