World Alert: Two North Korean missile launches this year were tests of a new ICBM system, represent a ‘serious escalation,’ U.S. official says
| A senior administration official said that the launches involved a "relatively new intercontinental ballistic missile system" the country is developing and testing and that a future test could be disguised as a space launch. The effort marks a "serious escalation" by North Korea and is a "brazen violation" of multiple U.N. Security Council resolutions, said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the highly sensitive matter. |
