Missile meant to target US tested successfully

North Korea Leader Kim Jong Un threatened to blow up United States with a nuclear missile in the past. An indication that he isn't joking was sent to the world with the testing of long range missile last week. North Korea announced the missile test was successful and the Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile will be prepared soon so that United States can be targeted depending on the situation.

Hwasong-12, the ballistic missile, was fired at the high altitude to ensure none of the neighboring nations were affected. It flew 787 km (489 miles) at a height of 2,111 km (1,242) miles before landing in the sea near Russia on Sunday.

North Korea carried out this missile test to estimate its capability to successfully operate a large nuclear warhead. Unites States, Japan and South Korea sees the missile test by North Korea as threat to the World. North Korea's advanced missile might lead to World War 3.
