HeadlineJan 18, 2022

State media reported the missiles “precisely hit an island target,” showing the accuracy of North Korean weaponry. Earlier this month North Korea tested a new hypersonic missile, triggering a launch alert from the North American Aerospace Defense Command — or NORAD — that briefly grounded some flights on the West Coast in the United States.
