The Hwasong-11A, also known as KN-23 under the United States’s naming convention, is a North Korean single-stage, solid-fueled short-range ballistic missile. Unveiled in February 2018 and first test-fired in May 2019, Hwasong-11A is the most notable variant of Hwasong-11 series of solid-fueled SRBMs. Analysts believe the missile, with its quasi-ballistic trajectory and a range of up to 900 km (560 mi), may be able to penetrate South Korean missile defenses. Hwasong-11A is reported to be used by Russia during its invasion of Ukraine. The missile has multiple variants, including larger warhead version, smaller version and underwater-launched version.
