The KN-25 missiles have a range of approximately 380 km, allowing North Korea to accurately target strategic objectives in nearby regions. This range puts several military bases and critical infrastructures within the range, increasing the country’s deterrent capability.

One notable aspect of the KN-25 is its ability to be rapidly launched in succession. During tests, North Korea demonstrated the ability to launch multiple missiles in rapid succession, making interception by antimissile defense systems difficult.
This feature significantly enhances the effectiveness and potential impact of these missiles in a combat scenario.
This test is part of a series of military maneuvers aimed at demonstrating the strength and readiness of the North Korean Armed Forces.
Transfer to Russia and Use in Ukraine
Recently, North Korea transferred hundreds of KN-25 missiles to Russia. This transfer of weaponry has raised global concerns, especially due to the use of these missiles in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Russia utilized the KN-25 to bombard Ukrainian cities, causing destruction and further escalating violence in the region.
