N Korea fires banned missile in longest flight yet

North Korea has fired an intercontinental ballistic missile, which flew for 86 minutes - the longest flight recorded yet - and over 1,000km, before falling into waters off its east coast, South Korea and Japan said.

The ICBM was fired at a sharply-raised angle and reached as high as 7,000km (4,350 miles). This means that it if were launched horizontally, it would have covered a further distance.
