North Korea claims 'successful' rocket engine test

North Korea has carried out a successful ground test of a new rocket engine to launch satellites, according to its state media.



The country's leader, Kim Jong-un, oversaw the test and ordered preparations for the launch of a satellite to begin, the official Central News Agency (KCNA) said on Tuesday, in what some saw as an indication that the country might soon conduct a long-range rocket launch.

"Here we are a few weeks after the fifth nuclear test and they are testing an engine which, according to North Korea, is a much more powerful single engine," said Al Jazeera's Harry Fawcett, reporting from South Korean capital Seoul.
