North Korea has created a new holiday to celebrate the anniversary of the successful test launch of its Hwasong-17 intercontinental ballistic missile last year, state media reported Sunday.
On November 18, 2022, Pyongyang carried out what is believed to be the first full flight test of the Hwasong-17 -- dubbed the "monster missile" by analysts.
The North's Korean Central News Agency said on Sunday that the anniversary had been designated as a holiday at a meeting of the Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly.
"The establishment of Missile Industry Day marks a special event in our sacred journey of national defence development," KCNA said.
