Explainer: North Korea’s ‘monster’ new ballistic missile

North Korea unveiled a new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) during a military parade marking the 75th anniversary of its ruling party. The missile is significantly larger than previous models, with a length of 25 to 26 meters and a diameter of 2.5 to 2.9 meters. Experts estimate its range to be similar to the Hoisson 15, capable of reaching anywhere in the continental United States. The new ICBM is believed to have a larger strategic capacity, potentially carrying up to four warheads, which would challenge US missile defense systems.
