North Korea has conducted multiple missile tests, including the launch of a Hwasong-18 intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capable of reaching anywhere in the United States, according to South Korea and Japan. This marks North Korea's fifth ICBM launch this year, with the missile reportedly falling into the Sea of Japan after a 70-minute flight. These launches come amid heightened US-South Korea cooperation on nuclear deterrence against North Korea, with the US warning North Korea against nuclear attacks. The US and South Korea are also planning to draw up a joint nuclear defense guideline against the North Korean threat. North Korea has condemned these actions as provocative and tantamount to 'a preview of a nuclear war'.
