North Korea Says It Can Reach United States

Global News

North Korea has successfully tested a new type of intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) that can reach the whole of continental United States, BBC reports.

The Hwasong-15 missile was launched in darkness early on Wednesday. It landed in Japanese waters but flew higher than any other missile the North had previously tested.

According to Pyongyang, the missile reached an altitude of 4,475km  and flew 950km in 53 minutes.

South Korea responded by carrying out live-fire drills, launching one of its own ballistic missiles.

North Korean State television said Pyongyang had achieved its mission of becoming a nuclear state.
