North Korea fires suspected ICBM into the sea, lands inside Japan's exclusive economic zone

ABC  

North Korea has fired what was apparently an intercontinental ballistic missile, a day after it launched a smaller missile and warned of "fiercer military responses" to the US boosting its regional security presence. Key points: Japan says the missile landed roughly 210 kilometres west of Hokkaido The test comes a day after another test, of a short-range ballistic missile ICBMs are North Korea's longest-range weapon and designed to carry nuclear warheads This has become a record-breaking year for the nuclear-armed country's missile programme, after it resumed testing ICBMs for the first time since 2017, and broke its self-imposed moratorium on long-range launches as denuclearisation talks stalled. A day earlier, North Korea fired a short-range ballistic missile while its Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui warned of "fiercer military responses" to US moves to boost its military presence in the region, saying Washington was taking a "gamble it will regret". North Korea's last suspected ICBM test was on November 3, when it fired a number of missiles into the sea in what it said was a protest against allied military drills by South Korea and the US.
