North Korea Claims 'World's Strongest' Missile Amid Global Concerns

North Korea has announced the successful test of what it calls 'the world’s strongest' intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), the Hwasong-19. The missile reportedly flew higher and stayed in the air longer than any previous North Korean weapon, raising concerns about its potential to reach the U.S. However, experts have cast doubt on the missile's practicality, suggesting it may be too large to be effectively deployed in a real conflict. The test has heightened international tensions, with fears of escalating military provocations from Pyongyang. North Korea's state media has hailed the missile as a 'perfected weapon system.'
