Explanation:

North Korea has launched its most powerful weapon yet- Called the Hwasong-15.
It is the ‘greatest ICBM’ that could be armed with a ‘super-large heavy nuclear warhead’ capable of striking the ‘whole mainland’ of the United States of America.
Pyongyang claimed the missile reached a height of 4,475 km and travelled 950 km.
Strategic analysts are concerned with these developments because NK hasn’t put any limits over its nuclear programme, which might threaten the whole East Asian region.
