North Korea Conducts Series of ICBM Tests Amid Political Tensions
North Korea has intensified its missile testing activities, launching a new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) designed to threaten the United States. This comes just days ahead of a significant U.S. election, raising concerns over regional security. Among the recent tests, North Korea conducted its longest-ever ICBM test, with missiles reaching record heights and flight times. The launches have prompted strong condemnations from the White House and allies in the region, particularly as they coincide with increasing military cooperation between North Korea and Russia. As South Korean lawmakers warn of potential future tests around the U.S. election, the situation remains tense, with North Korea announcing its capability to deploy more mobile missile systems aimed at striking the U.S. and its allies.
