The Biden administration reiterated that it’s ready to hold talks with North Korea without preconditions, a day after Kim Jong Un’s regime fired an intermediate-range ballistic missile for the first time since 2017.
Pyongyang’s official Korean Central News Agency on Monday “confirmed the accuracy, security and effectiveness of the operation of the Hwasong 12-type weapon system under production.” It said the launch was conducted at the highest angle “in consideration of the security of neighboring countries.”
