Kim Jung Un conducts another missile engine test in North Korea

US defense officials confirmed that North Korea conducted another

ballistic missile engine test last Friday. The officials said the

latest engine trial is the third such test in recent weeks using

similar technology.



One official said that the initial assessment indicates that the

engine technology could possibly be used in an eventual

intercontinental ballistic missile.



The biggest fear of the US is that possession of an intercontinental

ballistic missile could allow North Korea to threaten the continental

United States. ICBM technology is considered difficult to develop,

with advanced rocket design being a necessary step.
