    Solution

    North Korea conducted a test of its latest intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) called Hwasong-18 using solid propellants. The Hwasong-18 was unveiled earlier this year and its use of solid propellants allows for faster deployment and acceleration. ICBMs are long-range ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons, and only a few countries possess land-based ICBMs. The test flight of the Hwasong-18 was the longest ever for a North Korean missile, reaching a maximum altitude of 6,648.4km and flying a distance of 1001.2km before landing in the East Sea.
