North Korea has fired an intercontinental ballistic missile, which flew for 86 minutes – the longest flight recorded yet – before falling into waters off its east, South Korea and Japan said.
The ICBM launch violated UN curbs and came at a time of deteriorating relations between the two Koreas.
Seoul’s defence ministry said the test was intended to develop weapons that "fire farther and higher”.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said in a rare same-day report on state media that the launch shows "our will to respond to our enemies" and described it as "appropriate military action".
