Korea Conflict: North Korea tests cluster warhead for cruise missile
First a ballistic missile, now a strategic cruise missile: North Korea reports two tests with internationally banned cluster munitions within a few days.
North Korea has tested a dispersal warhead for a strategic cruise missile, according to the state-run KCNA news agency. The test took place on Monday. This comes after a similar test of a dispersal warhead for a tactical ballistic missile on October 31. The dispersal warhead is designed to scatter multiple small explosives over a large area, with North Korea claiming it could devastate an area of five to six hectares.
