North Korea tests tactical ballistic missile cluster warheads

North Korea cluster warheads tactical ballistic missiles Kim Jong-sik missile testing

North Korea conducted a test of a cluster-bomb warhead designed for tactical ballistic missiles on October 31, 2026. The test, overseen by General Kim Jong-sik, aimed to evaluate the combat readiness and destructive power of the system.

According to the state news agency KCNA, the Standard Type 2 cluster warhead is capable of destroying a target area of approximately 12 to 13 hectares with high density. North Korean missile authorities stated that these warheads are classified into four distinct categories based on their specific operational purposes, including special and standard types.

The government announced plans to deploy all four types of cluster warheads to military units by the end of 2026, allowing forces to select munitions based on the characteristics of their targets. This development follows previous tests of similar systems, such as the Hwasong-11 Ra, in April 2026.
