North Korea has claimed that it successfully tested a new hypersonic missile called Hwasong-8 on Tuesday (28th).
State media said the new missile was one of the "five most important" new weapons systems laid out in its five-year military development plan.
They called the missile a "strategic weapon", which usually means it has nuclear capabilities.
Tuesday's launch is another indication of Pyongyang's growing weapons technology amid strict sanctions.
This is a technology that allows missiles to be pre-fuelled and then sent to the field in canisters. This means it could potentially stay launch-ready for years. This latest launch also marked the country's third missile test this month.
