North Korean media says the country conducted a launch drill of the solid fuel ICBM-class Hwasong-18 on Monday. It also says that leader Kim Jong Un observed the launch.
                
North Korea&#039;s Workers&#039; Party newspaper Rodong Sinmun issued a report on Tuesday about what it called a launch drill for the Hwasong-18.
                
The newspaper said the missile traveled 1,002.3 kilometers, reached a maximum altitude of 6,518.2 kilometers and flew for 73 minutes.
                
It said the missile accurately came down on a target area located in open waters off North Korea&#039;s east coast.
                
The North test-fired the Hwasong-18 in April and July. But this is the first time that Pyongyang has announced a launch drill for the missile.
                
The country appears to be trying to give the impression that the solid-fuel ICBM, which can be launched more quickly than those that run on liquid fuel, is ready for deployment.
                
Kim watched the launch with his daughter. He said that the drill was an occasion to clearly show what kind of action the country is prepared to take, and what option it will take, if Washington makes the wrong decision regarding the nation.
                
He stressed that Pyongyang will need to counter the threats of its enemies by taking more offensive actions, if they continue to make the wrong choices.
                
The US mission to the United Nations says it asked the UN Security Council to hold an emergency meeting on Tuesday.
                
The US mission says this latest firing and all launches by North Korea that use ballistic missile technology are &quot;violations of multiple Security Council resolutions.&quot; It stressed that the launches threaten the entire global community.
                
The Hwasong-18 is North Korea&#039;s first solid fuel new-type ICBM-class ballistic missile.
                
The North conducted a combustion test of a high-thrust solid-fuel engine in December 2022.
                
In February of this year, the Hwasong-18 appeared in the finale of a military parade marking the 75th anniversary of the founding of the North Korean military.
                
In April, Pyongyang announced that it had test-fired the Hwasong-18 successfully for the first time. The second test-firing was conducted in July.
                
Japan&#039;s Defense Ministry says the missile likely has a range of over 15,000 kilometers and may be able to reach any area in the United States.
