SEOUL — North Korea's most recent weapons test has "perfected" its newest and most sophisticated solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile, state media said Friday, as global criticism escalated over Pyongyang's purported deployment of troops to Russia.
Leader Kim Jong Un oversaw the test of the Hwasong-19 missile, which flew higher and further than any previous missile, according to the North and to Seoul and Tokyo's militaries, which tracked it in real time.
