The test came two weeks before the inauguration of US president-elect Donald Trump, who has previously tried to woo North Korea, and coincided with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken's visit to the South.
«The hypersonic missile system will reliably contain any rivals in the Pacific region that can affect the security of our state,» Kim, who oversaw the launch, said in comments carried by KCNA on Tuesday.
The test came as Blinken visited strategic ally South Korea, a fierce rival of the North, with whom it technically remains at war. The top US envoy, now in Tokyo, was expected to address issues surrounding Pyongyang in talks with Japan later Tuesday.
It was North Korea's first since November, when it test-fired what it said was its most advanced and powerful solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).
