Today they again they test fired another missile, this time speculated to be their  ICBM Hwasong-15 .  The said missile flew above Japan and fell into the Japanese exclusive economic zone. What is different about this test is the fact that the missile seems to have a range of more than 13,000/- kilometres which is enough to cover most of continental United States.  North Korea seems to to be improving on it's missile and nuclear weapon technology.

Washington took the recent development seriously, accusing Pyongyang of contravening existing United Nations Security Council resolutions by staging the test.
