North Korea confirmed on 25 March that it has test-launched its new Hwaseong-17 (also spelt Hwasong-17) intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).

3月25日，朝鲜证实，它已经试射了新的"火星"-17洲际弹道导弹（ICBM）。

 

It is the country's first launch of an ICBM since November 2017 and signals the end of a self-imposed suspension on the development of such weapons introduced in 2018.

这是该国自2017年11月以来首次发射洲际弹道导弹，标志着2018年引进此类武器自行暂停研制的结束。

 

Pyongyang's Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said the Hwaseong-17 – the largest that North Korea has developed – was trialled by the Korean People's Army (KPA) Strategic Force on 24 March.

平壤的朝鲜中央通讯社（KCNA）表示，朝鲜研制的最大的"火星"-17 型导弹于3月24日由朝鲜人民军（KPA）战略部队进行了试验。

 

KCNA said the missile was launched “from a high angle” from a site near Pyongyang's international airport in the district of Sunan. It said the missile flew 1,090 km at a top altitude of 6,248 km before landing in the East Sea, marking the longest range that a North Korean ICBM has achieved.

朝中社说，导弹是从位于顺南区平壤国际机场附近的一个地点“以高角度”发射的。报道称，这枚导弹在东海着陆前，在最高海拔6248公里处飞行了1090公里，这是朝鲜洲际导弹所达到的最远射程。

 

KCNA said the launch demonstrated that “all essential elements of the weapon accurately achieved their design requirements”, and that the weapon could be deployed reliably “in wartime conditions”.

朝鲜中央通讯社表示，这次发射表明，“武器的所有基本要素都准确地达到了设计要求”，而且武器可以“在战时条件下”可靠部署。
