Today’s North Korean missile launch, at first declared a failure when the weapon exploded shortly after takeoff, could instead have been a test of new technology, analysts said. Initial assessments indicated the rocket was a medium-range KN-15 missile that flew just 40 miles. The same weapon tested in February flew about 310 miles. But it’s possible the missile had a different purpose: one step toward developing a solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile capable of striking the U.
