NORTH KOREA said today that it had test-fired a new hypersonic intermediate-range missile designed to strike remote targets in the Pacific.
Pyongyang’s latest weapons test coincided with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un vowing to further expand his collection of nuclear-capable weapons to counter rival nations.
South Korea’s military said on Monday that it had detected North Korea launching a missile that landed in waters between the Korean peninsula and Japan.
