The United States has strongly condemned North Korea's latest Intercontinental ballistic missile test.
North Korea fired an ICBM on Thursday morning, ahead of landmark talks between the leaders of South Korea and Japan aimed at improving bilateral relations.
The long-range ballistic missile, which could potentially reach mainland United States, was launched from Pyongyang on the east coast of North Korea, and landed outside Japan's exclusive economic zone, according to the Japanese defense ministry.
