North Korea says it test-fired Hwasong-17 ICBM, the largest liquid-fuelled missile ever launched by any country from a road-mobile launcher
Dubbed Hwasong-17, the ICBM is the largest liquid-fuelled missile ever launched by any country from a road-mobile launcher, analysts say.
Thursday launch was the first time Pyongyang has fired Kim's most powerful missiles at the full range since 2017, and it appears to have travelled higher and further than any previous ICBM tested by the nuclear-armed country. "The missile, launched at Pyongyang International Airport, travelled up to a maximum altitude of 6,248.5 km and flew a distance of 1,090 km for 4,052s before accurately hitting the pre-set area in open waters" in the Sea of Japan, KCNA said.
Kim said the new weapon would "creditably perform its mission and duty as a powerful nuclear war deterrent," according to KCNA. Kim said his country now has "formidable military and technical capabilities unperturbed by any military threat and blackmail" and would be "fully ready for long-standing confrontation with the US imperialists," KCNA reported.Long-range and nuclear tests have been paused since Kim met then-US president Donald Trump for about of doomed diplomacy, which collapsed in 2019.
