No new limits on Ukraine's use of US arms if N. Korea joins Russia's fight: Pentagon

A missile that North Korea launched Thursday flew higher and stayed in the air longer than any other weapon the country has so far fired.

North Korea test-fired a suspected intercontinental ballistic missile that could strike the United States.

Japan's Defense Ministry tracked the ICBM flying northeast for 86 minutes, the longest duration yet for a North Korean missile, before it splashed down in the Sea of Japan.

A North Korean soldier has described hellish scenes of slaughter in the Russian region of Kursk with "mountains of corpses" littering the battlefield, after his unit was wiped out by Ukrainian troops.
