World
South Korea has pulled off its first successful test of a hypersonic missile, with President Lee Jae Myung watching closely.
This new technology is fast and unpredictable, meaning it could be tough for rivals to track or defend against.
After the launch, President Lee told the team to speed up work so these missiles can be ready sooner.
