N Korea test-fires most advanced ICBM with US in range

Images released by the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) on December 19, 2023 show the launch of the country's most powerful solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile.

Monday's test launch of the solid-fuel Hwasong-18 came a day after the nuclear-powered submarine USS Missouri made port in Busan and followed a US-South Korea warning that a nuclear attack by Pyongyang would mean "the end of the Kim regime".
