North Korea says missile flew farther than neighbors estimated
Original: North Korea claimed Sunday that a military drill involving an "intermediate-range strategic missile" saw the weapon fly
North Korea announced Sunday that a military drill involving an "intermediate-range strategic missile" saw the weapon fly 1,000 kilometers, roughly 300 kilometers farther than the distances estimated by Tokyo and Seoul. The discrepancy is drawing attention to differing assessments of Pyongyang's missile capabilities between North Korea and its neighbors.
Why now: The claim of a longer flight range than Japanese and South Korean estimates raises concerns about the accuracy of regional missile tracking and North Korea's advancing capabilities.
