N. Korea test-fires ballistic missile
The Hwasong-11 Ra surface-to-surface tactical ballistic missile hits a target in waters at an unspecified location on April 19, 2026, as North Korea test-fires it to verify the characteristics and power of a cluster bomb warhead and fragmentation mine warhead applied to the tactical ballistic missile, in this photo released by the North's official Korean Central News Agency the next day. Leader Kim Jong-un observed the test and expressed satisfaction with the performance of the missile's warhead capability, the KCNA said a day after South Korea's military detected multiple short-range ballistic missiles launched toward the East Sea at around 6:10 a.m. from North Korea's Sinpho area.
