Nordktorea testet ICBM mit Reichweite bis tief in die US
December 18, 2023 - Nordkorea hat eine Langstrecken Ballistische Rakete getestet, die irgend eine Stelle in den Vereinigten Staaten treffen könnte, wie offizielle Stellen aus Südkorea und Japan melden.
Monday’s missile was fired from an area near the capital Pyongyang towards the sea off the North’s east coast and flew about 1,000km, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said.
Japan’s defence ministry reported the flight lasted 73 minutes, just short of the 74-minute flight by an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) North Korea fired in July. It reached a maximum altitude of more than 6,000km and fell into the sea west of Hokkaido outside Japan’s exclusive economic zone, Japan said.
