The missile, which was launched from North Korea’s Taylnak region at 10.15 am on Friday, crossed the entire northeastern part of the country and fell on the northern part of Japan’s Hagaido Island and this missile had a maximum range of 1,000 km from the mainland. About 6,000 to 6,100 km upwards. South Korea and Japan have also reported that it has flown far away.
It is said that this missile may have been launched from a high altitude and 15 thousand km. Japan’s Defense Minister Yasukaju Hamata said that since it has the ability to extend the distance, it will reach the entire area of the United States.
