The launches carried out by North Korea on February 26 and March 4 were intended to test the “elements of a new system” intercontinental ballistic missiles, said Thursday, March 10, a senior White House official, speaking of“serious escalation”.
“These shots are certainly intended to test elements of this new system before North Korea does a full-range launch, which they might try to pass off as a space launch.”he added.
Pyongyang had already assured after these firings in late February and early March that these were satellite development tests. In response to these new tests, the United States will announce measures on Friday to “to prevent North Korea from having access to foreign products and technologies allowing it to develop its prohibited weapons programs”and “other actions will follow in the coming days”said this source, who requested anonymity.
