Seoul conducts test of homegrown hypersonic missile
South Korea conducted its first test launch of a locally developed hypersonic missile, which uses advanced technology enabling it to strike strategic targets at speeds exceeding five times the speed of sound, with the ability to change course. This enhances its defensive capabilities and represents a key strategic advantage. This test follows North Korea's announcement of launching a medium-range hypersonic missile, claiming it can alter its trajectory and evade interception systems, although Seoul and Washington affirmed that it can be detected and intercepted. These developments mark an escalation in the arms race between the two Koreas, as Seoul seeks to strengthen its defense capabilities amid regional tensions.
