U.S. Claims North Korea is Testing New Intercontinental Ballistic Missile
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Biden administration says North Korea has tested a new
intercontinental ballistic missile system capable of delivering a
nuclear warhead anywhere on Earth. North Korean media reports the recent
launches were related to plans by leader Kim Jong-un to launch spy
satellites into orbit to monitor the militaries of the United States and
its allies. A Pentagon spokesperson rejected those claims, saying North
Korea is instead preparing a test of a new ICBM at full range -
disguised as a space launch.
