North Korea conducted a test of its new Hwasong-18 intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) using solid propellants. The test has drawn reactions from neighbouring countries, with Japan, South Korea, and the United States expressing concerns about regional stability and emphasizing the need for closer cooperation and denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
North Korea is a country in East Asia. It constitutes the northern half of the Korean Peninsula and borders China and Russia to the north at the Yalu and Tumen rivers, and South Korea to the south at the Korean Demilitarized Zone. The war between North Korea and South Korea began in 1950 and both governments claimed to be the sole legitimate government of all of Korea, and neither accepted the border as permanent.
