N. Korea Unveils Video of Latest Missile Launch

North Korea has unveiled a video clip of its latest intercontinental ballistic missile, a day after it was test-launched.  

The North’s official Korean Central Television(KCTV) on Thursday showed what the regime calls a newly developed Hwasong-15 intercontinental ballistic missile(ICBM) being moved on a mobile launcher and then fired into the air.

In the one-minute clip, the missile is seen launched at a lofted angle and flying, along with the separation of the rocket's first stage.

The broadcaster also disclosed photos showing North Korean leader Kim Jong-un reviewing the missile before and during the launch.

Hours after the missile was fired Wednesday, a North Korean state broadcaster claimed it was a success, announcing it as “the historic completion of national nuclear weapons capability.”
