The intercontinental ballistic missile launched by North Korea can reach the United States.

Early in the morning on October 31, North Korea conducted a test launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). After nearly an hour and a half of flight, the warhead landed 300 kilometers west of the Japanese island of Okushiri.

The launch altitude of the ICBM exceeded seven thousand kilometers, while the range was one thousand kilometers — the highest figure recorded during all missile tests conducted by North Korea.

Japanese military officials who monitored the flight speculated that the intercontinental ballistic missile launched from the Korean Peninsula could theoretically cover a distance of 14 thousand kilometers and reach the continental territory of the United States.
