North Korean authorities have released video footage of a recent test of a heavy ballistic missile armed with a warhead weighing up to 4500 kg. The tests are part of North Korea's efforts to bolster its defense capabilities amid rising international tensions.

The footage released shows the moment the missile struck. The North Korean military says the tests were successful and confirmed the missile's effectiveness. The new ballistic missile is said to be designed to deliver powerful strikes over long distances, making it an important element in the North Korean military's arsenal.

However, experts have drawn attention to the fact that the missile is unlikely to carry a warhead weighing 4500 kg, as evidenced by its relatively small dimensions.
