North Korea launches intercontinental missile

According to Japanese and South Korean authorities, it appears to have been a failed launch. The missile’s initial trajectory suggested it was about to fly over Japan, prompting local authorities to issue an anti-aircraft alert, but at some point the missile mysteriously disappeared from radar. Everything indicates that he had a technical problem, and he fell apart in the air.

Despite the failure, the launch was seen by the North Korean regime as a new provocation and prompted South Korea and the US to decide indefinitely on a joint air exercise that began on Monday and was due to end this Friday, involving hundreds of people. combat aircraft of both countries, including bombers and stealth fighters. North Korea, which had demanded an immediate halt to the maneuvers the day before, said it was a “dangerous decision” and that the two countries were “getting tensions out of control.” “The United States and South Korea will realize that they have made a terrible mistake that can no longer be corrected,” a senior official in the Pyongyang regime threatened.
