North Korea says missile flew 1,000 km in drill

Original: North Korea claimed Sunday that a military drill involving an "intermediate-range strategic missile" saw the weapon fly

North Korea claimed Sunday that a military drill involving an "intermediate-range strategic missile" saw the weapon fly 1,000 kilometers, roughly 300 km farther than estimates by Tokyo and Seoul. The discrepancy between Pyongyang's claim and the assessments of Japan and South Korea is drawing attention as analysts weigh the missile's true range and what it signals about North Korea's weapons program.

Why now: The claimed range exceeds estimates by Japan and South Korea, raising concerns about North Korea's missile capabilities.
