North Korea tested another ‘hypersonic’ missile, says state media

Pyongyang says Wednesday's missile test was successful and helped prove the reliability of a new fuel system

North Korea says it tested a new "hypersonic missile" on Wednesday and that a new fuel transport system proved successful in freezing winter temperatures.
