North Korea released Photos from space of missile testing
The unusual pictures are taken from space show parts of the Korean peninsula and surrounding areas. Pyongyang confirmed on Monday it had tested a Hwasong-12 intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM).
It can travel thousands of miles at its full power, putting areas like US territory Guam within striking distance. The latest test has raised the alarm again among the international community.
Pyongyang has conducted a record number of seven missile launches in the past month alone, an intense flurry of activity that has been strongly condemned by the US, South Korea, Japan, and other nations.
The UN prohibits North Korea from ballistic and nuclear weapons tests and has imposed strict sanctions. But the East Asian state regularly defies the ban.
US officials on Monday said the recent step-up in activity warranted renewed talks with Pyongyang.
