North Korea says it has successfully tested a new type of intercontinental ballistic missile that can reach the whole of continental United States, the BBC reports.

State television claimed that Pyongyang had now achieved its mission of becoming a nuclear state.

The Hwasong-15 missile, which it said was its “most powerful”, was launched in darkness early on Wednesday.

It landed in Japanese waters but flew higher than any other missile the North has previously tested.
