North Korea Tests Missile Engine

June 17, 2004 :: News

North Korea in May successfully tested a rocket engine for its long-range Taepo-Dong II missile, reports the Joongang Ilbo South Korean newspaper. The test was said to have taken place in early May, at the Musudan missile complex, in the North Hamgyong province some 120 miles from the Russian border. The paper cited “multiple” diplomatic sources. The Taepo Dong II has been long believed to have a range sufficient to hit Alaska and the Western United States.
