This demonstration test comes amid international concern that Pyongyang may have received missile technology from Russia in exchange for assistance in the war in Ukraine. <\/p>\n\n<p>The launch drew sharp criticism from South Korea, Japan, and the United States. Additionally, Seoul&#8217;s military intelligence has noted that North Korea may conduct further tests of an intercontinental ballistic missile or conduct a seventh nuclear test during the US presidential election. <\/p>\n\n<p>Shin Seung-ki, head of the North Korean armed forces&#8217; research department, suggested that the new launch was probably intended to test improved missile performance, possibly with the help of Russian technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North Korea has announced the successful test of an intercontinental ballistic missile, which it calls &#8220;the most powerful strategic weapon [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":24796,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","_eb_data_table":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1690,1291],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24864","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-neus","category-world"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/infolight.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/kndr-rak-rak-1.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/infolight.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24864","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/infolight.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/infolight.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/infolight.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/infolight.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24864"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/infolight.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24864\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24866,"href":"https:\/\/infolight.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24864\/revisions\/24866"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/infolight.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24796"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/infolight.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24864"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/infolight.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24864"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/infolight.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24864"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
