North Korea's missile launch, designed to threaten the U.S. mainland, signifies the country's resolve against perceived threats and is timed to maximize future bargaining power.
Kim Jong Un emphasized the test as "an appropriate military action" to show the determination of the DPRK in bolstering its nuclear capabilities and countering external threats.
The missile's test, identified by the U.S., South Korea, and Japan as an ICBM, highlights rising tensions in the region and concerns over North Korea's military intentions.
Experts analyzed that the missile, possibly a new solid-fueled type, can be launched quicker and offers a strategic advantage in terms of maneuverability and concealment.
