On 18 February, North Korea conducted a test-firing of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). North Korea's state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said that a Hwaseong-15 ICBM was fired in a “surprise ICBM launching drill”, following written direction from the country's leader Kim Jong-un.

2月18日，朝鲜试射了一枚洲际弹道导弹（ICBM）。朝鲜官方媒体朝鲜中央通讯社（朝中社）表示，按照朝鲜领导人金正恩的书面指示，在“突击洲际弹道导弹发射演习”中发射了一枚“火星-15”型洲际弹道导弹。

 

KCNA reported that the missile flew for over an hour and travelled 989 km. It added that the test was “clear proof of the sure reliability of our powerful physical nuclear deterrent”.

朝中社报道说，导弹飞行了一个多小时，飞行了989公里。它补充说，这次试验“清楚地证明了我们强大的物理核威慑力量的可靠性”。

 

The test followed an 8 February parade in Pyongyang celebrating the 75th anniversary of the founding of North Korea's armed forces, at which different elements of the ICBM force were displayed.
