AZUZ: Up next today — unlike the last couple of missile tests conducted by the Asian country of North Korea, the one it carried out earlier this week was successful. In fact, analysts say the country might have developed a weapon that could hit U.S. territory. North Korea says its tests proves it has a rocket that could carry a nuclear bomb and that the U.S. mainland was in its range as well as the American military base on the Pacific island of Guam.

Analysts doubt that the weapon could travel as far as the U.S. west coast. But they say Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. territory in the Pacific is a possibility.

North Korean media reported that the test missile flew 489 miles across North Korea and landed in the Sea of Japan, also known as the East Sea.

U.S. officials say it landed about 60 miles from Eastern Russia, though Russian officials say it was farther away than that. Either way, it does show that North Korea's missile program is making significant steps forward, according to experts.

South Korea's new president says the test broke international law and challenged peace and security in the Korean Peninsula. Russia called the launch counterproductive, damaging and dangerous, but warned other countries not to intimidate North Korea. Russia is an ally of the Asian country.

And the U.S. called for more sanctions, more penalties on North Korea's economy.
