SEOUL: North Korea unveiled previously unseen intercontinental ballistic missiles at an unprecedented predawn military parade on Saturday.
The parade showcased the country’s long-range weapons for the first time in two years, Reuters reported.
Analysts said the missile, which was shown on a transporter vehicle with 11 axles, would be one of the largest road-mobile intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) in the world if it becomes operational.
The report added that a senior U.S. administration official called the display of the ICBM “disappointing” and called on the government to negotiate to achieve complete denuclearization.
The parade featured North Korea’s ballistic missiles for the first time since Kim began meeting with international leaders, including U.S. President Donald Trump, in 2018.
