2019-07-25 | North Korea Tested New Ballistic Missile, South Says, Flouting U.N. Ban - The New York Times
'After studying the photos North Korea released from the tests in May, South Korean and United States analysts said the missile looked like a copy of Russia’s Iskander short-range ballistic missile. '
'An Iskander-like missile would be a potent new addition to the North’s growing fleet of ballistic missiles. '
'Yet it was not the range of the missile but its looks that alarmed analysts in the region. '
'In the past, the United States has tended to give far less attention to short-range tests by the North than to its long-range launches, rarely reacting to them with new sanctions. '
'The Iskander is capable of carrying nuclear warheads — the North is believed to have 30 to 60 — and can also be maneuvered during its ballistic trajectory. '
