      N. Korea fires 2 missiles, warns of more launches over Japan

      North Korea fired two ballistic missiles into the Sea of Japan on Monday, the Defense Ministry said, with Pyongyang warning of more launches over the Japanese archipelago as the United States and its East Asian allies held joint exercises. Immediately after North Korea's launches on Monday morning, the Japan Coast Guard said Pyongyang had fired three projectiles, citing data from the Defense Ministry. But the ministry corrected the report later in the day, saying the North had launched two missiles. Matsuno said the Cabinet Secretariat, a governmental body that gathers data from the Defense Ministry and other administrative organizations, mistakenly sent a notification about the second missile launch by North Korea to the Japan Coast Guard twice.

          N. Korea launched "monster" Hwasong-17 ICBM on Thurs. to counter U.S.

          People watch Korean Central Television's news of the previous day's launch by North Korea of a new "Hwasong-17" intercontinental ballistic missile in Pyongyang on March 25, 2022. North Korea confirmed it fired a new "Hwasong-17" intercontinental ballistic missile under the guidance of leader Kim Jong Un, state-run media reported Friday, jeopardizing regional security and reminding the United States of the threat the nation can pose. The ICBM, fired from Pyongyang International Airport, was claimed to have traveled up to a maximum altitude of 6,248.5 kilometers and a distance of 1,090 km on its 68-minute flight before hitting a target in the Sea of Japan, according to the official Korean Central News Agency. Kim was quoted by KCNA as saying North Korea has been "fully ready for long-standing confrontation with the U.S. imperialists," as bilateral talks between Washington and Pyongyang on denuclearization and sanctions relief have been stalled for more than two years.

            N. Korea fires new type of ICBM in full-scale test

            North Korea fired Thursday a new type of intercontinental ballistic missile, Japan's Defense Ministry said, with the biggest-scale launch in terms of flight time and altitude coming at a time when international attention is focused on Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The South Korean military said a projectile was fired eastward from the Sunan area in Pyongyang at 2:34 p.m., flying 1,080 kilometers and reaching an altitude of 6,200 km, and that it was presumed to be an ICBM-level missile. Estimated to have flown 71 minutes, reaching an altitude of more than 6,000 km, it is the longest and highest a North Korean missile has flown, a ministry official said. An ICBM launched by Pyongyang in November 2017 flew 53 minutes and reached an altitude of over 4,000 km.
