North Korea claims new hypersonic missile launch under watch of Kim Jong-un.
It is getting way worse in the realm of N. Korea than I would have ever though possible. State news agency KCNA said the missile fired on Tuesday had "precisely hit" a target some 1,000km (621 miles) away.
It marks North Korea's third reported test of a hypersonic missile, which can avoid detection for longer than ballistic missiles. Two of the tests have happened within a week, after Mr Kim vowed in a New Year speech to bolster Pyongyang's defenses. South Korea and Japan both detected Tuesday's launch, saying a missile had been fired from North Korea towards the sea.
KCNA news agency later said it was a hypersonic missile, which it described as having "superior maneuverability".
