Solid-fuel missiles would have distinct advantages - including greater mobility and the ability to launch within minutes -? over Pyongyang's current, largely liquid-fuelled inventory.

Five short-range ballistic missiles were fired Monday, which brought about the news of last week's test.

North Korea conducted its fourth nuclear test in January, followed by a long-range rocket launch in February, which outside experts viewed as a cover for a banned test of its ballistic missile technology. The said ships were previously blacklisted by the United Nations due to its links to North Korea's arms trade.

On March 3, Kim ordered the military to get nuclear warheads ready for use when needed at any time when he guided the test firing of the new-type rocket launcher for the first time. Another illegal nuclear test might be in the works.

"We believe that a fifth nuclear test can take place right away", South Korea's unification ministry spokesman Jeong Joon-Hee said yesterday, while Park Geun-Hye, the South Korean president, warned that the Korean Peninsula was facing "a crucial time".

He also oversaw what state media called a successful simulated test of a reentry vehicle aimed at returning a nuclear warhead to the atmosphere from space so it could hit its intended target.
