A Complete Timeline Of North Korea's Nuclear Missile Tests In 2017

North Korea test-launched another ballistic missile Tuesday, according to the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff, after nearly two months without any weapons tests.

Pentagon spokesman Col. Robert Manning said the Pentagon’s initial assessment of the missile was that it was an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), according to Reuters. The missile reportedly traveled more than 600 miles before crashing into the Sea of Japan.

The missile launched Wednesday morning was at least the 16th time this year that North Korea has test-launched missiles. The regime of Kim Jong Un has been especially provocative this year, showcasing their rapidly advancing missile and nuclear programs through numerous tests. Tensions have run high as President Donald Trump has threatened to destroy North Korea and has mirrored the historically blustery rhetoric of the North Korean regime like no president before him.
