North Korea tests missile that it claims can target U.S. mainland - CBS News

North Korea conducted a test of a missile system it claims can strike the U.S. mainland, marking the latest in a series of weapons demonstrations by Pyongyang. The test underscores escalating tensions on the Korean Peninsula and reflects North Korea's ongoing development of long-range ballistic missile capabilities. Such tests are prohibited under U.N. Security Council resolutions and typically draw international condemnation. The claim of mainland U.S. capability, if substantiated, would represent a significant advancement in North Korea's military arsenal and directly challenge American security interests in the region. The Trump administration is expected to respond to the provocation as it reassesses U.S. policy toward North Korea.
