North Korea conducted a suspected long-range missile test aimed at the continental U.S., according to South Korea's military. The launch took place around 7:10 a.m. on Thursday from North Korea's capital region. The missile was launched at a high angle, indicating it may be a long-range ballistic missile.
South Korea's military has heightened its surveillance and is sharing information with U.S. and Japanese authorities. If confirmed, this would be North Korea's first intercontinental ballistic missile test since December 2023 when it launched the solid-fueled Hwasong-18 ICBM.
