Pyongyang. North Korea test-fired an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) on Friday. This missile fell on the sea border of Japan. According to the Prime Minister of Japan, Fumio Kishida, this missile fell at a distance of 210 kilometers from the island of Oshima in western Japan.
North Korea fired this missile from the Sunan area. Japan’s Defense Minister Yasukazu Hamada said – this ballistic missile flew at an altitude of more than 6 thousand km. The range of this missile is sufficient. It can spread to America. This missile is capable of flying up to 15,000 km.
An ICBM can travel thousands of kilometers. In other words, North Korea can target America with this type of missile. In 2017, for the first time, North Korea said that it will soon prepare a missile that can hit any part of the world.
US Vice President Kamala Harris has objected to this action of North Korea. Kamala Harris, who arrived in Thailand to participate in the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit, said – I appeal to all my comrades to condemn this act of North Korea. This is a violation of United Nations regulations. At the same time, the Prime Minister of Japan has described it as a provocative act. He said that such actions will not be tolerated at all.
The United Nations (UN) has imposed sanctions on North Korea for testing nuclear and ballistic missiles. Simply put, North Korea cannot test nuclear and ballistic missiles. Despite this, missile tests are being conducted continuously. Before this, a missile test was also conducted in May.
North Korea is rapidly increasing its military buildup. North Korea has conducted several missile tests in the past few days. North Korea has fired 34 missiles so far this year. The height and distance of this missile fired on Friday was 100 kilometers less than the missile fired on March 24.
