N Korea fires 3 missiles, including ICBM, as Biden ends Asia tour

North Korea has test-fired three missiles off its east coast, including a suspected intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), according to the governments of South Korea and Japan.

The tests on Wednesday came hours after Joe Biden, the president of the United States, left the region after a five-day tour during which he pledged to defend Seoul and Tokyo in the face of Pyongyang’s growing nuclear and missile arsenal.
