(UPDATE) SEOUL — North Korea fired one of its most powerful missiles, South Korea's military said on Thursday, Kim Jong Un's first weapons test after being accused of deploying troops in Russia.
Seoul had warned a day earlier that the nuclear-armed North was preparing to test-fire another intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) or even conduct a nuclear test ahead of next week's US elections.
