Reuters reported the KCNA announcement as a North Korean government claim. Pyongyang said the test assessed the warhead's combat suitability and that military units could receive several variants by the end of 2026.
The report follows a series of missile demonstrations and a recent drone exhibition. No independent test data or outside confirmation was provided in the Reuters account.
