SEOUL: North Korea has conducted a long-range ballistic missile (ICBM) test capable of attacking the United States.

The missile landed at a distance of 200 km from the coast of Japan in the maritime zone under its control of Japan.

In response, Japan and the US conducted military exercises at sea.

North Korea has been angered by recent moves by the US in concert with South Korea and Japan.

The incident occurred when US Vice President Kamala Harris was in Thailand for the summit of the Asia Pacific Economic Corporation.

North Korea's most powerful missile, the Hwasong 17, is rumored to have been tested yesterday.

The country has conducted more than sixty missile tests this year. Eight of these are ICBMs. It is also reported that the missile tested yesterday reached 23 times the speed of sound.

Unlike usual, this time Kim also brought his daughter to the missile test site. This is the first time that a picture of Kim's daughter has been released.

The biggest surprise, however, was the presence of Kim's daughter, whose existence had never been publicly confirmed before.

KCNA did not name the girl, who is seen in photographs in a white coat holding hands with her father as they look at the missile.
