North Korea Fires Advanced Long-Range Missile
Pyongyang's Latest Provocation Raises Concerns
By Jean Mackenzie and Frances Mao
North Korea has launched its most advanced long-range missile to date, raising concerns about its growing nuclear and missile threat. The missile, believed to be an ICBM, was fired from the Sunan area near the North Korean capital, Pyongyang, on Saturday morning.
The launch came just hours after the United States and South Korea began joint military exercises, which North Korea has condemned as a provocation.
The missile flew over Japan before landing in the Pacific Ocean, according to the Japanese government. The launch is a significant escalation in the ongoing tensions between North Korea and the international community.
The United States and South Korea have condemned the launch, and have called on North Korea to stop its provocations and return to talks.
The launch comes as North Korea is preparing to celebrate the 70th anniversary of its founding. The country has been conducting a series of missile tests in recent months, and experts believe that it is developing nuclear weapons that could target the United States.
The latest launch is a reminder of the growing threat posed by North Korea's nuclear and missile program. The international community must work together to find a peaceful solution to this crisis.
