North Korea Fires ICBM in Response to US 'War' Actions

North Korea fired an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) with the potential to reach anywhere in the United States, marking its second launch in hours. South Korea and Japan condemned the launch as a destabilizing act that ignored international warnings and U.N. Security Council resolutions. The missile flew about 1,000 km and reached a maximum altitude of over 3,730 miles before falling into the sea west of Hokkaido. The launch comes after North Korea fired a short-range ballistic missile and issued a fiery statement condemning the United States for orchestrating a "preview of a nuclear war." The United States, South Korea, and Japan are working to set up a real-time missile data sharing system.
