North Korea tests banned intercontinental missile
North Korea has tested a banned intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) for the first time since 2017, South Korea and Japan say.
Japanese officials said it flew 1,100 km (684 miles) and fell in Japanese waters after flying for over an hour.
ICBMs, designed for nuclear arms delivery, could extend North Korea's strike range as far as the US mainland.
The test is being seen as a major escalation by the North and has been condemned by its neighbours and the US.
North Korea has launched a flurry of missile tests in recent weeks.
The US and South Korea have said some of those tests, which Pyongyang claimed were satellite launches, were in fact trials of parts of an ICBM system.
