North Korea Test-Launches , ‘Largest Intercontinental Ballistic Missile’, to Date.
'The Guardian' reports North Korea launched a new Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) as part of its biggest weapons test since 2017.
Moon Jae-in, South Korea's outgoing
president, condemned the launch as a
"clear violation" of U.N.
Security council resolutions.
South Korea's military fired an onslaught of missiles into the
Sea of Japan in response to the launch.
While not yet verified, the ICBM is suspected to be a Hwasong-17.
Fired from the Sunan area, the ICBM traveled 670 miles at an altitude of over 3,800 miles.
It was in the air for 71 minutes and landed approximately 90 miles west of Hokkaido's Oshima peninsula in Japan.
World officials, such as Japan’s state minister of defense, Makoto Oniki,
have condemned the launch.
At a time when the world is dealing with
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, North Korea
is pressing ahead with launches that unilaterally aggravate provocations against
the international community,
which is absolutely unforgivable, Makoto Oniki, Japan’s state minister of defense, via 'The Guardian'.
Leif-Eric Easley, a professor of international studies at Ewha Womans University in Seoul, , said it would be unwise for the international community to ignore North Korea's tests while focusing on Ukraine.
Despite economic challenges and technical setbacks, the Kim regime is determined to advance its missile capabilities, Leif-Eric Easley, a professor of international studies at
Ewha Womans University in Seoul, via 'The Guardian'.
It would be a mistake for international policymakers to think the North Korean missile threat can be put on the back burner while the world deals with the pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Leif-Eric Easley, a professor of international studies at Ewha Womans University in Seoul, via 'The Guardian'.

The Russia-North Korea defense pact signals a significant shift in global power dynamics, challenging stability in East Asia. This alliance complicates U.S. efforts to isolate North Korea and may accelerate Pyongyang's military capabilities. China faces a dilemma, potentially losing influence over North Korea to Russia. The pact's ambiguity raises concerns about miscalculation. International responses must balance firm resolve with openness to dialogue, prioritizing diplomacy to address root causes of tension while maintaining commitment to denuclearization and UN resolutions.

Trump vowed to end the conflict if re-elected, while Zelensky emphasized the importance of American support. The call echoed a 2019 conversation that led to Trump's impeachment. Zelensky seeks total victory against Russia, but Trump's potential re-election could pressure Kiev to end the conflict quickly.
