The test was condemned by the US  and six other countries who issued a joint statement urging the North to cease its "destabilising actions" in the region.South Korea's military initially downplayed the hypersonic missile claims but later said it demonstrated "improvement" from previous tests, said news site Yonhap.North Korea state outlet KCNA praised the test, saying the "superior manoeuvrability" of the missile had been "strikingly verified through the final test-fire".The report claims the glide missile had made a 600 km (375 mile) "glide jump flight," followed by 240 km of "corkscrew manoeuvring" before hitting its target.North Korea's first reported hypersonic missile test was in September 2021.The post <a href="http://www.lindaikejisblog.com/2022/1/north-korea-says-leader-kim-jong-un-oversaw-the-countrys-third-hypersonic-missile-test.html" target="_blank">North Korea says leader Kim Jong-un oversaw the country's third hypersonic missile test</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.lindaikejisblog.com" target="_blank">Linda Ikeji Blog</a>.<a href="http://www.lindaikejisblog.com/2022/1/north-korea-says-leader-kim-jong-un-oversaw-the-countrys-third-hypersonic-missile-test.html" target="_blank">Continue reading...</a></blockquote>
