North Korea ICBMs

On Friday, North Korea showed why it has been silent over the last few weeks – and what comes next in 2023. 

After the recent confirmed launch of a Hwasong-17 missile, it’s time to revisit claims that North Korea “faked” a previous launch.

A day after North Korea launched its Hwasong-17 ICBM, its state media KCNA released more details on the missile test.

A day after it launched an SRBM, North Korea fired an ICBM off its east coast, a repeat of a previous failed test.

A day after it tested more than 25 missiles, North Korea launched three ballistic missiles toward its east coast – including a likely ICBM.

Hours after U.S. President Joe Biden wrapped up his trip to South Korea and Japan, North Korea test-fired three ballistic missiles, including a suspected ICBM.

Japan’s deterrence strategy is up for debate following the launch of North Korea’s ICBM test.

South Korea’s Defense Ministry said the missile launched on March 24 was not Pyongyang’s new Hwasong-17 ICBM, but the older Hwasong-15.  

In response, the U.S. imposed new sanctions on the entities and individuals of North Korea and Russia involved in the North’s missile program. 

Four days after launching artillery pieces, North Korea tested a suspected intercontinental ballistic missile on Thursday. 

Days after the U.S. warned of North Korea testing its new ICBM system, South Korea’s military said the North failed to launch an unidentified projectile.
