North Korea broke a two-month lull in weapons testing with a dramatic launch of its most advanced missile yet, an intercontinental ballistic missile it claims can reach the "whole" US mainland.

The country's state media declared the Hwasong-15 missile was "the most powerful ICBM" which carried a "super-large heavy warhead" to unprecedented heights of almost 4,500 kilometers (2,800 miles).

It was a dramatic show of force and technical capabilities from Pyongyang, which had not conducted any military tests since September 15, raising suggestions that perhaps the rogue country was heeding warnings to halt its provocations and cease its weapons program.

Key points

Hwasong-15 is a new type of intercontinental ballistic missile, upgrade of Hwasong-14
Fired 3 a.m. local time from mobile launcher in Pyongsong, South Pyongan Province
Reached a height of 4,475 kilometers (2,800 miles), higher than ever before
Splashed down off the Japanese coast, within the country's Exclusive Economic Zone
South Korea responded with a "precision missile strike drill," matching the flight distance.
Highest ever

Wednesday's missile reached an altitude of up to 4,475 kilometers (2,800 miles), higher than any previous launch, a North Korea reading that was in line with estimates released by Japan and South Korea.
The missile was fired on a lofted trajectory, where the missile flies very high to cover a relatively short horizontal distance. David Wright, an expert with the Union of Concerned scientists said that if it had been fired on a standard trajectory, the ICBM would have been capable of traveling 13,000 kilometers, or 8,100 miles.
