The Korean Central News Agency reported that the missile rose to an altitude of more than 6,600 kilometers and traveled about 1,000 kilometers before hitting the Sea of Japan.
According to analysts, this species could also reach the United States.
Meanwhile, the news agency reported that the release took place “in the midst of a serious security crisis” and again accused the United States of provoking Pyongyang.
Meanwhile, he quoted Kim Jong-un, who warned that “stronger military action can be taken if the United States and its regional ally, South Korea, do not admit defeat and abandon their unfriendly policies.”
He also stated that the launch on Wednesday is part of North Korea’s self-defense developments, which are necessary due to the brazen actions of Washington and Seoul.
UN resolutions prohibit North Korea from developing ballistic missiles, which, depending on their type, may even be capable of delivering nuclear warheads. Pyongyang’s leadership is under severe international sanctions over its nuclear programme.
