fired a suspected intercontinental ballistic missile on Friday that Japanese officials said had sufficient range to reach the mainland of the United States and that landed just 200 kilometers off Japan.
Friday’s launch adds to a record-breaking year for the nuclear-armed country’s missile program, after it resumed testing ICBMs for the first time since 2017 and broke its self-imposed moratorium on long-range launches as denuclearization talks stalled. Misawa Air base, which hosts both Japanese and US troops, briefly issued an order to seek cover, according to a post on the base’s Facebook page.North Korea’s last suspected ICBM test was on November 3, when it fired multiple missiles into the sea in what it said was a protest against allied military drills by South Korea and the United States.
Friday’s launch came as US Vice President Kamala Harris was in Thailand for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, amid geopolitical tensions over the war in Ukraine and other flashpoints such as Taiwan and the Korean peninsula.
