North Korea tests mysterious super-high missile days before US votes
North Korea fired what could be its strongest missile ever reaching unprecedented heights in space. The launch happened right after US-South Korea talked about North Korean soldiers in Russia
North Korea fired what might be its strongest-ever missile today showing off its military power just days before US election. The test came right after US and South Korean officials spoke against Kim Jong Unʼs choice to send troops to help Putin
The super-powerful rocket went way up in space - about 4350 miles high (which is way more than any previous launch and about 17 times higher than where astronauts live on the space station); Japanese defense experts think its a never-seen-before weapon type
The timing of this launch isnt random: its happening when US-South Korea relations are getting stronger‚ and theres lots of talk about North Koreas growing friendship with Russia. The missile test shows how Kimʼs regime keeps pushing forward with its weapons program despite international rules. Experts say the height of this launch proves North Korea can now hit targets much further than before
- The missile flew higher than any previous test
- It happened just before US election
- Defense experts think its a new type
- The launch breaks international agreements
Japanese officials are checking if the missile landed in their economic zone‚ while South Korean military stays ready for more tests. Both countries work with US to track these launches (which have been happening more often lately)
