North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has vowed to acquire an improved ICBM and a spy satellite among an array of sophisticated weapons systems he says he needs to cope with what he calls American hostility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Hwasong-17 is North Korea\u2019s biggest missile, which could potentially fly up to 15,000 kilometers (9,320 miles), far enough to strike anywhere in the U.S. and beyond. The 25-meter (82-foot) missile, which was shown again at a defense exhibition in Pyongyang last year, has yet to be test-launched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">North Korea has already demonstrated the potential to reach the U.S. mainland with flight tests of other ICBMs, the Hwasong-14 and Hwasong-15, in 2017. Some analysts say developing a larger missile could mean the country is trying to arm its long-range weapons with multiple warheads to overcome missile defense systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In recent months, North Korea has conducted a spate of missile tests in what experts say are attempts to modernize its arsenal and pressure the Biden administration as nuclear disarmament talks remain stalled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The launch was made from the Pyongyang region around 9:30 a.m. before the apparent failure, South
