What are solid-fuel missiles, and why is North Korea developing them?

North Korea launched an intercontinental ballistic missile, potentially linked to its development of solid-fuel rocket engines. Solid-fuel missiles are easier to operate and harder to detect compared to liquid-fuel weapons. This development could enhance North Korea's nuclear counterattack capability, although experts believe the country still needs more time to fully master the technology.
