missile test

North Korea said it conducted a "surprise" drill of an intercontinental ballistic missile amid military threats from the United States and South Korea.

South Korea on Monday asked for the "active cooperation" of China and Russia to prevent North Korea from conducting further missile tests.

Kim is believed to have as many as three children, two girls and a boy, experts said.

NKorea has ramped up missile tests and tested ICBM as part of efforts to develop a nuclear-tipped missile that can strike the US mainland.

Kim attended the event after guiding nuclear tactical exercises targeting South Korea over the past two weeks.

It was the latest in an escalating cycle of military muscle flexing in the region.

The South Korea-U.S. bilateral exercises involved an American aircraft carrier for the first time in more than four years.

In response, the United States and South Korea held combined military drills, including surface-to-surface missile tests.

Human rights activists said the silence underscored the complete control the government wields over communication in the country.

The South Korean military said Saturday's launch came from a location near Sunan, where Pyongyang's international airport is located.

The sanctions monitors noted that there had been a "marked acceleration" of missile testing by Pyongyang.

The test was held to confirm the power of a conventional warhead for a surface-to-surface tactical guided missile on Thursday, KCNA said.

North Koreas flurry of new missile tests has underscored the importance of the country's missile engineers and scientists.
