A new set of North Korea stamps and souvenir sheets commemorates the test launch of intercontinental ballistic missiles in July. The images of stamps were released by media on 8th August but the issue date is not known.

The set comprises of a pane of four se-tenant stamps, a single stamp, and two souvenir sheets each with a 50-won stamp.

A text on every item reads “Successful Test Launch of Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Hwasong-14” in English.

50w stamps in the souvenir sheets feature two different images of Kim Jong Un. One image shows him signing the order to launch while another one features him celebrating after the launch. The background features the North Korean flag above Earth and a missile in the air. Close-up images of the missiles are shown on some of the stamps.
