North Korea claimed for the first time on Thursday that it has successfully tested a new missile capability with multiple warheads, state media said, as the nuclear-armed country looks to add yet another way to defeat defenses against its arsenal.
Pyongyang “successfully conducted the separation and guidance control test of individual mobile warheads on Wednesday,” the official Korean Central News Agency reported, adding that “the separated mobile warheads were correctly guided” to three target coordinates.
The effectiveness of a decoy separating from the missile was also verified by airborne radar, it added.
