North Korea has tested several new missile designs this year, including a new submarine-launched ballistic missile fired from a platform in the sea.

The latest test of the “super-large multiple rocket launchers”, following two tests in August and September of the same rocket launcher weapon called “continuous fire system”.
North Korea is engaged in increasingly escalatory behaviour. North Korea repeatedly emphasises an end-of-the-year deadline for denuclearisation talks with Washington that Kim set earlier this year.

The crisis continues to escalate.
