North Korea fires missile after threatening retaliation

North Korea fired an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) on Saturday in a "surprise" drill to confirm the weapon's reliability, state media said.

It flew over 900km (560 miles) for 67 minutes and landed in the Sea of Japan. Pyongyang said the test showed it was capable of countering hostile forces like the US and South Korea.
