Seoul. North Korea reported this Thursday that it had test-launched a new intercontinental ballistic missile. The launch was carried out by order of President Kim Jong-un, reported the Korean Central News Agency (KNCA), which added that the flight records exceeded those corresponding to any previous launch. The ACNC indicated that Kim was present at the launch site. He declared that the exercise was appropriate military action whose purpose is to show North Korea’s resolve to respond to the actions of enemies that have threatened its security, according to the agency. The operation took place as Washington warned that North Korean soldiers in Russian uniforms were heading toward Ukraine, probably to reinforce Moscow’s forces and join the war.
