Pyongyang – The north Korea’s dictator ruler Kim Jong has tested an intercontinental ballistic missile. This missile reached a height of 7687 km. South Korea and Japan monitored the flight of this missile in space before it fell into the sea between Japan and Russia. It is believed to be one of North Korea’s most powerful missiles, the test of which was ordered directly by dictator Kim Jong Un. He has described this test as a justified military action. Kim Jong Un said in a statement, I confirm that the Democratic People’s Republic of Korean will never change its policy of strengthening its nuclear forces.
South Korea and Japan reported that the 87-minute flight of this North Korean missile started from a site near Pyongyang and covered a distance of about 1,000 kilometers before falling into the sea about 200 kilometers west of Japan’s Okushiri Island. The Hwasong-19 missile flew at a very high speed.
Seoul-based military analysts said the launch was likely to test booster improvements to an existing ballistic missile, possibly with Russian assistance. South Korea, Japan and the US condemned the launch. A White House statement said, “This launch is a gross violation of multiple UN Security Council resolutions. This launch unnecessarily escalates tensions.”
