North Korea Says It Tested New Hypersonic Missile
-------------------------------------------------

North Korea said it tested a new hypersonic missile this week.
Hypersonic missiles are designed to defend against ballistic missiles
and can potentially be fitted with a nuclear warhead. The U.N. Security
Council is holding a meeting today on North Korea's recent weapons
tests. Meanwhile, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un said he is open to
restoring an inter-Korean hotline.
