North Korean leader Kim Jong Un walks away from what state media report is a "new type" of intercontinental ballistic missile.
Hard Numbers: North Korea seeks attention, “partygate” in the UK and Argentina, Americans’ international relations know-how
3: North Korea launched three ballistic missiles on Wednesday – including a suspected ICBM – that landed in waters off the east coast, marking its 17th missile test this year alone.
