A day earlier, North Korea fired a ballistic missile while it warned of 'fiercer military responses' to US efforts to boost its security presence in the region with its allies, saying Washington was taking a 'gamble it will regret'.
fired what was apparently an intercontinental ballistic missile , South Korea said on Friday, November 18, a day after it launched a smaller missile and warned of “fiercer military responses” to the US boosting its regional security presence.
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said there had been no reports of damage but the North’s repeated missile launches could not be tolerated. He said the missile appeared to have landed inside Japan’s exclusive economic zone. In a statement carried by state media, Choe condemned a Sunday trilateral summit of the United States, South Korea and Japan during which those countries’ leaders criticised Pyongyang’s weapons tests and pledged greater security cooperation.
Some missiles carry only one warhead but analysts suspect that North Korea is seeking to develop ICBMs that can carry multiple warheads, each able to navigate to a separate aimpoint, on independently targetable re-entry vehicles . A South Korean official said the November 3 test may have failed at high altitude. South Korean and U.S. officials have reported that a number of North Korean ICBM tests appeared to have failed this year.
