North Korea conducts long-range ballistic missile test, South Korea and Japan report launch

ai generated text

North Korea's recent intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) tests have shown significant advancements in the country's nuclear capabilities. According to various sources, the tests have achieved the longest flight times yet for North Korean missiles, with one reaching a distance of over 7,000 kilometers. The tests are believed to have been conducted in conjunction with Russia. North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un, has confirmed that he attended a recent test of an ICBM, calling it an "appropriate military action." The launches also come at a time of increased tensions between the US and North Korea, with the US warning of potential consequences for the launch of a missile capable of reaching the US mainland.
