The Hwasong-13 (Korean: 《화성-13》형; lit. 'Mars Type 13') was an experimental North Korean road-mobile intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) project. Hwasong-13 had two variants, called KN-08 and KN-14 under the US nomenclature, first displayed at military parades in 2012 and 2015, respectively. However, both missile variants appeared during these parades were assessed as propaganda-purposed mock-ups or unreliable prototype missiles. It was believed to be under development from 2012 before its cancellation in 2017. North Korea had never confirmed any flight tests of either Hwasong-13 variants; however, there were two alleged tests in October 2016, but it might also involve other types of long-range missile.
