North Korea demonstrated its military might by testing a massive new solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile dubbed the Hwasong-19, state media reported Friday, amid an international outcry over its troops deployed to aid Russia in Ukraine.

The official KCNA news agency called it “the most powerful strategic missile in the world.”

While questions remain about North Korea’s ability to guide such a missile and protect a nuclear warhead when it re-enters the atmosphere, the Hwasong-19, like North Korea’s other latest ICBMs, has demonstrated the range needed to strike almost anywhere in the United States.

“The new type of ICBM has proven to the whole world the hegemonic position we have secured in the development and manufacturing of nuclear delivery systems,” leader Kim Jong-un said as he oversaw the launch, KCNA reported.

Thursday’s missile launch, just days before next week’s crucial U.S. presidential election, drew swift condemnation from Washington and its allies in South Korea, Japan and Europe, as well as the United Nations secretary-general. United.
