Japan calls testing ‘unforgivable’, as regime fires one of biggest missiles for first time since 2017
North Korea has launched what is thought to be its largest intercontinental ballistic missile to date, according to military officials in Japan and South Korea, in what would be the regime’s most serious provocation for years.
South Korea’s joint chiefs of staff said it had detected the launch of an “unidentified projectile” from North Korea on Thursday afternoon. South Korea said the launch was assumed to be a long-range missile, possibly an ICBM fired on a lofted trajectory, the Yonhap news agency reported.
