North Korea on Saturday (10 October) unveiled a previously unveiled intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) at an unprecedented predawn military parade, reports Livemint.

While Open Nuclear network's deputy director Melissa Hanham has called the missile a 'monster', analysts have opined that the missile would be one of the largest road-mobile ICBMs in the world if it is made operational by North Korean regime.

During the parade which showcased the nation's long-range weapons for the first time in two years, the ICBM was seen on a transporter vehicle with 11 axles. North Korea also displayed Hwasong-15, which is the longest-range missile ever tested by the regime.


Meanwhile, during the parade, he also delivered a speech for about half an hour and rued about international sanctions, typhoons and the COVID-19 pandemic which prevented him from delivering on the promises of economic progress.
