N Korea ICBM hat Reichweite bis USA - sagt Japan
November 18, 2022 -
Nordkorea hat eine interkontinentale ballistische Rakete abgefeuert, die genügend Reichweite hat um das US Festland zu erreichen, wie Japans Verteidigungsminister feststellt
The launch adds to a record-breaking year for North Korea's missile programme, after it resumed testing ICBMs for the first time since 2017 and broke its self-imposed moratorium on long-range launches as denuclearisation talks stalled.
The launch is suspected to be of the new Hwasong-17, North Korea’s longest-range two-stage ICBM, according to South Korean defence sources, reported Yonhap.
Its trajectory was similar to North Korea’s claimed test of a Hwasong-17 on March 22.
