Description

The Hwasong-13 (KN-08 / KN-14) was an experimental North Korean intercontinental ballistic missile. North Korea first displayed a Hwasong-13 in a parade on April 15, 2012, and showcased a modified variant—designated separately by the United States as the KN-14—on October 10, 2015. Both variants have ceased to appear in public parades following the introduction of the Hwasong-14 and Hwasong-15 ICBMs. It is unclear whether Pyongyang ever constructed an operational Hwasong-13, and it is likely North Korea has abandoned further development efforts.
