North Korea test-fired an intercontinental ballistic missile for the first time in almost a year, demonstrating an improved potential ability to launch long-range nuclear attacks on the mainland U.S.

The United States, South Korea and Japan had also identified the weapon as an ICBM and condemned the launch as raising tensions. The launch came as Washington warned that North Korean troops in Russian uniforms are heading toward Ukraine, likely to augment Russian forces and join the war.
