"North Korea's Missile Test Raises Concerns of US Targeting"

North Korea test-fired an intercontinental ballistic missile into the waters off Japan, marking its second launch in as many days. The missile has the capability to reach the mainland United States, flying for 73 minutes before landing west of the Japanese island of Hokkaido. South Korea criticized the launch as a violation of UN Security Council resolutions, while North Korea blamed the US for escalating tensions in the region. The launch comes after a joint statement from the US and South Korea warned that any nuclear attack by North Korea would result in the end of the Kim regime.
