(FOX NEWS) – The North Korean launch that sparked Japan to issue a warning to citizens of its northernmost main island to “evacuate immediately” may have involved a “new type of ballistic missile,” a South Korean military official says.
The official, speaking to Reuters, said South Korea is “still analyzing details like the trajectory, altitude and range, with the possibility that it carried a solid-fuel propellant.”

If the missile was a solid-fuel ICBM – which is easier to transport and can be fired faster than missiles using liquid propellants – it would be North Korea’s first test of such a missile, according to The Associated Press.
