South Korean news outlet Newsis on Wednesday claimed that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has developed a military unit using recently developed solid-propellant intercontinental ballistic missiles.

The media outlet displayed a video from a military parade that was staged on February 8 to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the DPRK army's formation. New military flags for the army units were displayed during the parade, one of which depicted a ballistic missile taking launch. Considering that a similar banner was mounted on the mobile launcher that carried this kind of missile, Newsis claimed that it might be a solid-propellant missile displayed at the parade.

Different banners were also reported to be manned on the main missile directorate and the Hwasong-17 ballistic missile unit. Another poster displayed what is thought to be a long-range cruise missile that North Korea launched in January 2022.

According to a senior researcher at the South Korean think tank Korean Institute for National Unification, DPRK frequently develops a missile unit before performing full tests.

"Usually, a missile under development is tested more than 10 times to check its performance in order to adopt the missile, but North Korea, in contrast, creates and demonstrates a missile, and then tests it," the researcher was quoted by the news agency as saying.

On Monday, the DPRK news agency Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) confirmed these suspicions. KCNA reported that following changes in the geopolitical environment, Pyongyang had increased and reorganized units of numerous branches and military kinds.
