The missile, designed to strike U.S. military bases in Guam and Japan, flew approximately 620 miles before landing between the Korean Peninsula and Japan.
The test follows a previous claim of successfully testing engines for a new solid-fuel intermediate-range ballistic missile. (Trending: Hunter Biden’s Art Scheme Exposed By GOP Probe)
