SEOUL -- Parts of South Korea and even Japan were treated to an early New Year's fireworks display on Friday when Seoul test-fired a rocket believed to be part of the Defense Ministry's efforts to develop military reconnaissance satellites.
This was the second firing of the rocket, which features a solid-fuel engine that makes it easier to mass produce. The first launch occurred in March, and the engine itself was first successfully fired in 2021.
