North Korea has reportedly tested a sophisticated intercontinental ballistic missile.
Despite opposition from around the world, North Korea has been conducting periodic missile tests. South Korea and Japan said yesterday that North Korea had test-fired an intercontinental ballistic missile.
It has been reported that North Korea has launched a Hwasong-17 missile from the capital, Pyongyang, with a state - of - the - art technology that has not been successfully tested before. South Korea has accused the missile of hitting Japanese waters at a range of 6200 km, making it the most powerful missile tested by North Korea since 2017.
North Korea has not been involved in a long-range missile test since meeting with US President Trump in 2019. Now, North Korea is once again involved in a similar missile test.
On one hand as the Russia-Ukraine war unfolds, the other hand - North Korea's missile test has sent shockwaves through the world. The missile test was reportedly carried out under the personal supervision of North Korean President Kim Jong-un.
