PEACE PRIZE UPDATE: Pentagon Confirms New North Korean ICBM.
The new missile is called the KN-14 by the Pentagon and is a longer-range variant of the KN-08 road-mobile ICBM first made public in 2012.
Both the KN-08 and the new KN-14 have not been flight tested. But defense officials familiar with reports on the weapons said both systems have been tested in all other aspects of their development.
“It’s a KN-08 on steroids,” said one official of the new KN-14.
No word yet on range or payload capacity.
