on january 5th, what pyongyang calls a hypersonic missile.1th. two ballistic missiles fired from a train on january 14th and two tactical guided missiles fired early monday morning. weapons tests that appear to be part of a plan laid out by north korean leader kim jong-un more than a year ago. >> fundamentally, kim jong-un has basically ordered his people to make the type of weapons that he thinks will make north korea become a very advanced nuclear power. >> reporter: weapons experts say some of this month's launches didn't break any new ground. but north korea also fired this new hypersonic missile, which it first revealed to the public last year, and the south korean military confirmed it flew at ten times the speed of sound. >> what north korea is calling a hypersonic missile is really a ballistic missile at the base, when it launches, and then on the top, it has a maneuverable warhead, which means it can move in a way that is unexpected. >> reporter: this type of missile poses a new potential threat to the u.s. and its allies in asia. >>

any reaction so far from pyongyang to this? >> reporter: according to senior administration official who spoke to cnn about this, the messages have gone to north korea from the white house. they have been received, but there has been no response from north korea back to the u.s. so, in the meantime, north korea's been sending very different kinds of messages with this just flurry of missile launches. seven rounds of them in just one month. much more missile activity than we've seen in years, really since 2017 when north korea was making its displeasure known to the world and to the u.s. that was during the trump administration, and there was very public diplomacy, insults being hurled back and forth between pyongyang and washington, sometimes over twitter. and then subsequently the historic face to face diplomacy between then president trump and kim jong-un. the white house position has been we're willing to talk to the north koreans, but not at the level of heads of state. and, again, there has not been a response according to

i'll fight between pyongyang and soule will take just seconds to reach its target for distance of nearly 200 kilometers. now, not korea claims it possesses such weapons and this year, south korea intends to test its own hypersonic missiles. keeping an eye on this for us is correspondent frank smith. in so frank with our reports that south korea plans to test its own hypersonic messiah this year. is this the start of a hypersonic messiah race on the korean peninsula? well, i think it's fair to say it is it's, it's possibly even fair to speculate that this has been happening for some time. south korea has said that it's been developing hypersonic missile capabilities since the early 2 thousands ramping up those development efforts in the, in the 20 ten's. and it also says that the hypersonic missile that it will be testing and deploying, perhaps later in the 20 twenty's is better than the one that was tested just days ago by north korea. the south korean hypersonic missile will be a hypersonic cruise missile capable of flying its entire flight at a very low altitude. and at that hypersonic

so what's going on in pyongyang?ts hands — it's been busy. translation: we are surprised because we underestimate - north korean technology, and we assume that north korea is suffering because of the pandemic. they want to complete their missile system with one that is like a scorpion�*s tail. more specifically, kim jong—un appears to be developing missiles and warheads that can get past missile defence batteries, like this on injapan. it seems pretty clear that their aim is to develop weapons that can invade and complicate missile defences that are highly manoeuvrable and harder for the united states to pre—empt and let alone to detect. but hold on one second, kim jong—un already has plenty of weapons to defend himself against attack. his missile arsenal is more elaborate than britain's, france, india or pakistan, so why does he need more? what we might prescribe to north korea for self—defence purposes might be deemed insufficient by the north koreans themselves. so kimjong—un, feeling chronically insecure, i think

and yet we haven't seen as much propaganda from pyongyang this time around. why do you think that as well, they appear to be bent on developing their missile capabilities? perhaps at a time when there's less international focus on them, as there has been in the past. the kind of messages that we have seen have been ones from them depending this kind of testing as the kind of normal self defense military measures that many countries around the world take. and that seems to be the message that they're putting out there, that these are message are. these are missiles that are not pointed at any one country, or their sovereign right of the country to defend themselves against the policies from the united states and its allies. out korea in japan. i want to ask you about the timing of this test. josh, because diplomats are working around the clock right now to prevent a russian invasion to ukraine. we know that relations with china are at their worst in years of is north korea perhaps taking advantage of the west being distracted at the moment? that is certainly o
