Pukguksong-2
The Pukguksong-2 (; KN-15 under the U.S. naming convention) is a Medium-range ballistic missile, medium-range or intermediate-range ballistic missile under development by North Korea, which unlike the nation's List of North Korean missile tests, earlier designs, uses solid fuel. Described as 'nuclear-capable', its first test flight was on 12 February 2017, although two previous launches in October 2016 that were initially thought to be Hwasong-10 were possibly failed launches of the Pukguksong-2 instead.
