A checking test-fire of the ground-to-ground mid- and long-distance ballistic missile "Hwasong-12" was made on January 30 according to the plan of organs concerned including the Academy of Defence Science and the Second Economic Commission.

The Academy of Defence Science test-fired the missile at the highest angle firing system from the northwestern area to the East Sea of Korea in consideration of the security of the neighbouring countries.

The academy opened to the public the global image data photographed from the outer space with a camera at the warhead of the missile.
