It is worth mentioning that the North Korean administration fired the ICBM into the sea between the Korean peninsula and Japan, hours before the S. Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol, was scheduled to fly to Tokyo for a summit. The summit, on Thursday, was focused on discussions to counter the nuclear-armed North.
Earlier, a United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolution had prohibited N. Korean ballistic missiles so the recent ICBM launch had resulted in condemnation from South Korea, the US, and Japan.
