The Biden administration, along with its allies, is currently assessing the situation.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The United States strongly condemns the DPRK for its test of a long-range ballistic missile,&#8221; NSC spokesperson Adam Hodge stated in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2023\/07\/12\/statement-from-nsc-spokesperson-adam-hodge-on-the-democratic-peoples-republic-of-koreas-ballistic-missile-test\/\">released statement<\/a> from the White House on July 12.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>DPRK refers to North Korea&#8217;s official name, the Democratic People&#8217;s Republic of Korea.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Hodge further expressed that North Korea&#8217;s launch is a brazen violation of multiple UN Security Council resolutions, which unnecessarily raises tensions and risks destabilizing the security situation in the region.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This action demonstrates that the DPRK continues to prioritize its unlawful weapons of mass destruction and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-names-special-envoy-to-north-korea-after-meeting-with-moon\/\" title=\"Biden Names Special Envoy to North Korea After Meeting With Moon\">ballistic missile programs<\/a> over the well-being of its people. We urge all countries to condemn these violations and call on the DPRK to come to the table for serious negotiations,&#8221; emphasized the spokesperson.<\/p>\n<p>He also emphasized that while &#8220;The door has not closed on diplomacy,&#8221; North Korean officials must immediately cease their destabilizing actions and choose diplomatic engagement.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The United States will take all necessary measures to ensure the security of the American homeland and our allies in the Republic of Korea and Japan,&#8221; added Mr. Hodge.<\/p>\n<h2>The Missile Test<\/h2>\n<p>The White House&#8217;s statement comes in response to North Korea&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/putin-boasts-of-joint-military-exercises-in-meeting-with-chinese-defense-chief\/\" title=\"Putin boasts of \u2018joint military exercises\u2019 in meeting with Chinese defense chief\">recent intercontinental ballistic missile<\/a> (ICBM) test, which took place just hours earlier. This test follows the country&#8217;s threat of &#8220;shocking&#8221; consequences in response to what it deemed provocative U.S. reconnaissance activity near its territory.<\/p>\n<p>Experts believe that North Korea launched its road-mobile, developmental Hwasong-18 ICBM, which is more difficult to detect and intercept compared to its liquid-fuel ICBMs. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has previously described the Hwasong-18 as the most potent weapon in his nuclear arsenal.<\/p>\n<p>According to assessments from South Korea and Japan, the missile was launched from North Korea&#8217;s capital region and traveled approximately 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) at a maximum altitude of 6,000 kilometers (3,740 miles) before impacting in waters between the Korean Peninsula and Japan. Observers note that the missile was launched at a steep angle, likely in an attempt to circumvent neighboring countries.<\/p>\n<p>Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno revealed that the missile flew for 74 minutes, marking the longest travel duration ever recorded for a North Korean weapon. The previous record of 71 minutes was set last year during a test flight of the Hwasong-17 ICBM powered by liquid propellant.<\/p>\n<p>The military of South Korea described the launch as a provocation and urged North Korea to refrain from further launches. Mr. Matsuno criticized North Korea&#8217;s repeated missile launches as a threat to the peace, security, and even the international community.<\/p>\n<p>In a trilateral phone call, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/us-condemns-north-koreas-missile-test-urges-diplomatic-engagement\/\" title=\"US condemns North Korea's missile test, calls for diplomatic engagement.\">chief nuclear envoys<\/a> of South Korea, Japan, and the United States agreed to deal sternly with North Korean provocations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NSC denounced North Korea&#8217;s missile testing, stating that the Biden administration, along with US allies, is evaluating the situation.
