North Korea said on Sunday it tested an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) a day earlier, its third known test of a long-range weapon in less than a year.

According to the KCNA report, the missile flew 989 kilometers (614 mi) to an altitude of 5,768.5 kilometers (3,584 mi) for about 67 minutes.
