North Korea claims it successfully tested its first “intercontinental ballistic missile” (ICBM) Hwasong-14. The state TV announcement said the missile could hit targets anywhere in the world.
The media report said that the missile had reached an altitude of 2,802km, flew 933km for 39 minutes and hit a target in the Sea of Japan.
The Russian Defense Ministry said that that North Korea launched an intermediate range missile, not an ICBM.
