North Korea Claims to Have Developed 'World's Strongest' Intercontinental Ballistic Missile

Firstpost  

North Korea has successfully tested a new ICBM, called the 'Hwasong-19', which is considered the world's strongest strategic missile. The missile, which flew higher and stayed in the air for a longer duration than any other weapon the country has launched so far, is a significant milestone in North Korea's nuclear program. The launch also underscores the country's pursuit of nuclear-tipped missiles that can hit the US mainland. However, experts remain concerned about the technical challenges North Korea still needs to overcome before achieving a fully operational ICBM. The test also raises questions about the country's efforts to develop nuclear-tipped missiles and its potential motivations for conducting such a test.
