US officials have said that North Korea has tested new missile engine
According to US officials, a new rocket engine has been tested by North Korea as part of its efforts to build a missile capable of reaching the American mainland.
The news has come amid rising tensions between Washington and Pyongyang over the North’s nuclear ambitions.
The issue has been made the top priority for the Trump administration has made the issue one of its top priorities.
On the other hand North Korea despite international condemnation, has increased its missile tests. The aim of these tests is of developing an intercontinental nuclear armed rocket.
According to the US Defense Intelligence Agency North Korea was on an “inevitable” path to achieving this.
Officials of the US speaking anonymously to several news agencies said that the latest engine test, on Thursday, 22nd June 2017, could be one stage of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) engine that would be able to reach the US.
Due to North Korea’s highly secretive military practices, it is hard to estimate where North Korea stands in making an ICBM.
North Korean missiles can already reach South Korea or Japan, both countries have a US military presence.
A missile to reach the US mainland is in development but it’s not clear what stage the project is at.
North Korea has conducted several successful nuclear tests.
But it’s thought they have not yet managed to build a nuclear warhead small enough to fit on a missile.
On Wednesday, 21st of June, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson had urged China to use more diplomatic pressure on Pyongyang “if they want to prevent further escalation in the region.”
