FILE - This Saturday, May 4, 2019, file photo provided by the North Korean government shows a test of weapon systems, in North Korea. Independent journalists were not given access to cover the event depicted in this image distributed by the North Korean government. The North’s missile test also came just days after the United States tested its Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile from Vandenberg Air Base in California. North Korea last conducted a major missile test in November 2017 when it flight-tested an intercontinental ballistic missile that demonstrated the potential capability to reach deep into the U.S. mainland. It is believed to be modeled after Russia’s 9K720 Iskander mobile short-range ballistic missile system.
