by Jon Grevatt & Rahul Udoshi

The United States has said that recent North Korean tests to support its development of a ‘reconnaissance satellite' were in fact intended for developing a new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).

Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said on 10 March that the ICBM tests involved the same weapon that was unveiled by North Korea at a military parade in October 2020 to mark the 75th anniversary of the ruling Workers' Party of Korea.

This is identified as the Hwaseong-16 (also spelt Hwasong-16) ICBM, which has an estimated range of about 8,000 miles (12,875 km). Janes
