North Korea conducts another missile engine test, US officials say
By Ryan Browne and Barbara Starr, CNN
Updated 2219 GMT (0619 HKT) March 27, 2017
(CNN) - Two US defense officials told CNN Monday that North Korea conducted another ballistic missile engine test Friday.
The officials said the latest engine trial is the third such test in recent weeks using similar technology.
One official said that the initial assessment indicates that the engine technology could possibly be used in an eventual intercontinental ballistic missile.
It was not clear whether the engine would require some adjustment to be used in an ICBM, if it can indeed be used that way at all.
