SEOUL: North Korea fired a volley of missiles Wednesday, including possibly its largest intercontinental ballistic missile, just hours after US President Joe Biden left Asia after a trip overshadowed by Pyongyang's sabre-rattling, reports AFP.
North Korea has also been conducting "operational tests" of a nuclear detonation device, Kim Tae-hyo, Seoul's first deputy director of the National Security Office, said, adding a test could come "imminently".
Three missiles, including one ICBM, were fired from the Sunan area in Pyongyang, Seoul said -- one of nearly 20 weapons tests by North Korea so far this year -- prompting joint US-South Korea live-fire missile drills in response.
