• South Korea tested its first domestically developed hypersonic boost-glide vehicle at Anheung Proving Ground on 9 October, with President Lee Jae Myung observing; the vehicle stayed intact to impact.
  • The Blue House said the test verified heat-resistant materials, guidance and low-altitude manoeuvring; range, peak speed and mid-course and terminal guidance details were not disclosed.
  • TWZ says the weapon would add a way to hold North Korean targets at risk, as North Korea tested two purported hypersonic designs in recent weeks.
