Seoul: North Korea fires suspected ICBM and 2 other missiles

By Associated Press
May 25, 2022

North Korea test-launched a suspected intercontinental ballistic missile and two shorter-range weapons into the sea Wednesday, South Korea said, hours after President Joe Biden ended a trip to Asia where he reaffirmed the U.S. commitment to defend its allies in the face of the North’s nuclear threat.

If confirmed, it would be North Korea’s first ICBM launch in about two months amid stalled nuclear diplomacy with the United States. Breaking its 2018 moratorium on long-distance launches, North Korea in March claimed to have test-launched its longest-range missile as part of its development of functioning nuclear-armed missiles that can reach the American homeland.

The launches took place as North Korea made a much-disputed claim that its first domestic COVID-19 outbreak was weakening.

After an emergency national security council meeting, the South Korean government said North Korea fired a suspected ICBM and two short-range ballistic missiles.

Having the North Korean regime of Kim Jong-un preside over global nuclear weapons disarmament will be like putting a serial rapist in charge of a women’s shelter.  Our appeal for countries to walk out, signed by 40 civil society groups worldwide: https://t.co/NQeSiyfcOh

Under the presidency of Kim Jong-un's 🇰🇵 North Korean regime, the world disarmament forum will tomorrow meet to address “Cessation of the nuclear arms race and nuclear disarmament.” On Wednesday, they'll address “Prevention of nuclear war, including all related matters.”   ...
