North Korea test-fires strategic cruise missile
North Korea has test-fired sea-to-surface strategic cruise guided missiles, the North's state media reported Sunday, in the first missile launch since US President Donald Trump took office last week.
North Korea may fire an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) towards the North Pacific following its sixth nuclear test conducted a day earlier, South Korea’s intelligence agency revealed on Monday.
The National Intelligence Service (NIS) said that more analysis is needed to verify whether the North detonated an electromagnetic pulse-based bomb or a hydrogen bomb during its nuclear test on Sunday.

“There is a possibility that the North could make additional provocations by firing an ICBM towards the North Pacific,” a ruling party lawmaker said.
