More recent nuclear test

There was a more recent Nuclear test on Friday. I had amended the article in light of this, but it was reverted. How is this not a nuclear test? [1] ShortyMcShortFace (talk) 23:31, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As your source states, it's a missile test. A nuclear test would mean detonating a bomb, not testing a missile. Rolf H Nelson (talk) 23:40, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I see. My mistake. Sorry about that. ShortyMcShortFace (talk) 03:51, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hwasong-17

Is there any reason this hasn't been included? Jack Upland (talk) 08:42, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Added. Rolf H Nelson (talk) 03:35, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, is there a Hwasong-16?--Jack Upland (talk) 05:47, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I can find no WP:RS on any missile with that designation. Rolf H Nelson (talk) 05:41, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
