North Korea Test Launches ICBM Ahead of South Korea and Japan Leaders' Meeting

North Korea test-launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) just hours before the leaders of South Korea and Japan were to meet at a Tokyo summit. This is the North's first ICBM test in a month and third weapons test this week. The launch also comes as South Korean and US troops continue joint military exercises that Pyongyang sees as a rehearsal to invade. South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol said the North would pay a price for its provocative actions and urged stronger security ties with the US and Japan.
