It said the launch was carried out at 16:59 pm local time — or the early hours in Washington DC, on one of the US’ biggest annual holidays. It was also one day short of the two-year anniversary of its first test of its Hwasong-15 intercontinental ballistic missile, which analysts say is capable of reaching the entire US mainland.
