North Korea has said it tested a new solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile - its "most powerful" missile to date.
State media hailed Thursday's launch, which led to a brief evacuation order in Japan, a "miraculous success".
Solid-fuel missiles can be fired more quickly than liquid-fuel ones, making them harder to intercept. But analysts say they are not without downsides.
South Korea maintains that the North will need more time to develop a fully operational solid-fuel ICBM.
