The “very weighty test” North Korea announced this week has spurred speculation that it was a ground test of a “large, solid-fuel rocket motor designed for a notional intercontinental ballistic missile,” according to a North Korea monitoring site.
“North Korea’s claim that the test was special suggests that perhaps a new engine design was fired,” wrote Michael Elleman in the analysis site 38 North. “What that engine might be is anybody’s guess.”
