North Korea carried out its first intercontinental ballistic missile tests in five years - as Kim Jong-un reportedly eyes up turning the country into a "space power", it is claimed.
The latest tests have been branded a "serious escalation" by officials in the US, with missile defence systems placed in a state of "enhanced readiness".
North Korea prompted alarm by firing missiles on February 26 and March 4 - the first ICBM tests it has carried out since 2017.
