North Korea has conducted a test of a newly developed high-thrust engine at its Tongchang-ri rocket launch station. Country leader Kim Jong Un said the successful test was "a new birth" of its rocket industry. The engine will supposedly help the country achieve world-class satellite launching capability. North Korea has conducted five nuclear tests and a series of missile launches and is believed by experts to be developing nuclear-warhead missiles that can reach the United States.
